Summer is the time when you want to go on a long-awaited vacation, enjoy cold drinks, and cool off in a pond.

Some citizens are trying to climb into the Moscow fountain, but such an undertaking may lead to less than favorable consequences.

Citizens who bathe in Moscow fountains risk worsening their health. RIA Real Estate reports details with reference to the head of the Gormst-Fountains section of the Gormst State Budgetary Institution Vitaly Sizov.

It is noted that while swimming in fountains, a person may encounter some obstacles: lamps, sensors, nozzles. All this can lead to injuries.

Sizov also noted that specialists wash the fountain once a month. Despite this, the water there may be contaminated due to birds and stray animals swimming there. Swimming in such a place may result in the development of infectious diseases for a person.
