The plumbing within the fountain requires excessive repair and replacement. The fountain was installed in 1999 and many of the spray heads and connecting plumbing have corroded to the point of failure. The underground vault is not waterproof, requires more manpower to access than an above ground structure, and has also experienced the need for a higher level of maintenance over the past four years.The fountain is a very popular destination especially during the summertime; however, the frequency of required shutdowns for maintenance is frustrating for both the public, who want to use the facility, and City staff, who must spend excessive hours working on the facility rather than on the City's potable water system.
