Text Box: Construction - Fountain Vault Text Box: Construction of the new Electric Fountain vault began in January after a delay caused by the holiday snow storms. The foundation slab is 3 1/2 feet thick and the outer walls, like the original, are battered with a taper from two feet thick at the base to one foot thick at the top. The vault deck, which holds all of the water feature manifolds and nozzles, is sixteen inches thick and the parapet wall, which hides all this plumbing from view, is one foot thick.

Epoxy-coated re-bar being installed for the battered walls of the new fountain vault.
