Good spot for potable water, free and easy to access. As noted, pressure is low. The faucet is a small 180deg ball valve, and it's on the same supply as the attached car wash, so pressure fluctuates and sputters as people use the car wash. Took maybe 15 mins to fill my 26gal/100L tank. But it's free and easy to access - beggars can't be choosers :)
