From a city press release about the temporary city drinking fountains that will be in rotation in public spaces around town this summer as an alternative to bottled water or sugary drinks: “While supplies last, visitors who ‘Check-In’ regularly at Foursquare enabled Water-On-the-Go stations will have the opportunity to unlock a special for a free reusable NYC Water bottle, and those with the most ‘Check-Ins’ will be declared ‘Mayor’ of the Water-On-the-Go station. Last summer more than 200,000 people visited Water-On-the-Go drinking fountains, along with countless dogs.”
