New working Central Park fountain on its way back to downtown Seguin Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- It’s been months since the Central Park Fountain was operational in downtown Seguin, but that’s about to change, thanks to action taken by the Seguin City Council on Tuesday. The council approved a deal that will allow the fountain to not only be repaired, but also be significantly enhanced. Parks Director Jack Jones says staff members understand this fountain’s importance to the community. It was originally built back in the 1930s as a WPA project. It was reworked in 2007, but even those improvements need to be updated. Jones says the new work will bring the fountain back to its original glory. “We are excited to bring the fountain back to life. It’s really cool. Back in February, unfortunately, we had a freeze and had a flood down there and our fail safe failed and here we are. But things happen for a reason and sometimes for a good reason. The fountain is 17-year-old as it is and most of the equipment is 17 years old down in the vault so it really was time to do not only repairs but a renovation -- a remodel,” said Jones. The fountain, when functioning, was a significant attraction to downtown Seguin. Fountain, pg. 3
