New fountain will have no bowl, basically submerged jets.

Timed to surprise people walking over them?

A giant bidet?

Maybe its a conservation thing. Showers use less water than baths.

Likely not. Think of Fountain Place in Dallas:

Quote
a design that Downtown Coordinating Council Manager Tom Baker calls drunken-driver-proof.

“It was designed that way because we keep tearing up what’s down there,” he said. “If, by chance, some drunk redneck Okie decided to take their pickup over the top of it, it won’t damage the fountain.”

I bet some drunk redneck Okie will take that challenge.

It's going to be 9 inches tall...Not many cars smaller than an SUV have that kind of clearance.  We will have our damaged fountain back soon.

How long before Biker Fox uses it to cavort in skin hugging wet spandex splendor?

What?  No references to Owasso cheerleaders yet?  I'm disappointed in you all!
