Water Cooler User Interface

Peter Rukavina

The water cooler on the third floor has two spigots, one is white and one is black. My initial assumption would be that the white spigot dispenses pure, clean water, and the black spigot dispenses fetid sewer-water. Assuming that is not the case, I remain at a loss.

Peter, the White spigot drains water directly from the bottle perched up top, and therefore is what one would consider tepid or somewhat cool. The Black spigot drains from a holding tank inside the refrigerated unit, to provide the “user” with super cold water.
