The Lithia Fountain is a fountain in Ashland, Oregon, United States, installed in 1927.[1][2][3] Health benefits of water from the fountain, and the city's others, have been debated.[4]
High barium levels forced the city's public works department to turn off the fountains temporarily in 2016.[5][6]
