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:

That could be funny if it shot up and surprised some out of town folks...

Quotea 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.

Anyone keeping a running total of how much has been spent on this water feature?

I suggest we rename Bartlett Square to Bidet Circle.

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!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
