    Sickleyield to the rescue! I've use this to fill water vessels other than the ones listed. This should cover fill a couple at least. Liquid Pack should handle the spouts. Sickleyield has tons of water geometry and shaders in her store!

    I don't know about beer, but at least one of the Sickleyield water/liquid products has whiskey shaders. :D

     On a seriously note, thanks to the OP. I missed the lack of water.

    I did a paddling pool model Pad-Pool Freebie. The water material could be saved separately and applied as a shader to a cube or cylinder sized to fit inside the fountain. If you want other colour liquids, take a look at my octagonal glass freebies and bottle freebies as well which have DAZ Uber shader presets for various transparent coloured liquids or bottles.

    I did a render with one of those new fountains for the DAZ+ weekly challenge today. I used the liquid pack xyer0 also mentioned before and SY's rippling water - the latter has shaders that I then used on the props from the liquid pack to tie them together. They work pretty well.

    I wasn't going to say it and went for a drought instead

    but devil made me blush

    depending on the public amenities available in the town

    one may be forced to fill the fountain

    it may or may not look good

    ...

    would have a wee smell cheeky

    Lovely render indeed, and the water's very convincing! Thanks for giving us the product names used, I think I have both. 
     

    I do have a feeling though that maybe the water will be added separately by the PA ...

    @Wendy, oh no! Now I can't get this gross-hilarious-awful idea out of my head ...

    This is lovely and reminds me of the YouTube videos my cats love to watch of birds bathing in various water forms. You totally captured the cooling effects on hot days.

    Thank you all! heart It's nice to make peaceful, cozy scenes in DAZ. smiley

    Mary, thanks to your comment about your cats, I put on a bird bathing video on YT during my light meditation session today. Was supposed to be 10 minutes, but I ended up staying twice as long relaxing with the birds. smiley
