Is it safe to drink from them?
Fountain water is the same supply as the tap, so the answer is whatever the answer is for Adelaide's tap water. That is a question with published figures behind it rather than an opinion.

Fountains with something to note
Most of the 128 are anonymous street taps and a list of them would be the same line many times over, so they stay on the map. These are the ones with a name, a bottle-filling spout, or step-free access.

Fountain locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, refreshed 1 September 2026. A fountain that is mapped is not guaranteed to be running: they are turned off for repairs, and in some cities over winter.
