- FEATURES
- The Fountain of Progress-South, displays a five-point star layout of jets, with a sunken basin in the center and a series of parabolic streams in the outer area. The seemingly boiling and bubbling water in the center rises and falls in a cascading action over the sides of the stepped structure, while the outer parabolic jets vary in crown of elevation from 5 to 16 feet in height with a horizontal throw of from 15 to 27 feet. Two motor driven pumps keep 2,600 gallons of water in circulation every minute to create this delightful effect.
