The fountains at both World’s Fair Park and Krutch Park have reopened after closures to repair water leaks. In mid-May, the World’s Fair Park water feature was losing 5,000 gallons of water an hour. Because the fountains consist of an estimated 280 pipes, an outside contractor was hired to locate the leak and begin repairs. The repairs at Krutch Park were repaired by city crews. The city-sponsored fountains are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the summer.
