Fountains Take a Break for Maintenance | Salt Lake City News
Description
Washington Square’s iconic fountains are temporarily dry—not due to drought, but for much-needed maintenance. These historic water features, dating back to 1894, require daily care, chemical balancing, and power washes to stay pristine. Once dazzling with colored balls, water plants, and goldfish—even a horse fountain—some suffered neglect and vandalism, even being torn down as outdated. A major 1980s restoration revived them using original molds. While the water’s off for now, it’s all part of keeping this beloved landmark looking its best, proving that beauty demands consistent care, whether the fountains are flowing or not.
