Free, fresh, and cold.
The tap water in Seoul is advertised as drinkable, but most people believe the infrastructure of pipes are outdated and unsafe. Therefore, most citizens choose to purchase filtration systems or bottled water. For those living close to a mountain, a better alternative is available; spring water. Most mountains have at least one place where spring water can be collected. In this particular basin, the government also posts test results of the water, so any savvy individual can see what they're drinking. If you didn't bring a cup, don't worry. Each basin usually has a few community cups for all to share; if your courteous, you can wipe yours clean before hanging it up.
