The nearly-re-completed fountain now has landing lights, sort of...
The base has a ring of yellow chasing LEDs that work like road construction signs that indicate a closed lane.
That's in addition to the other LEDs that illuminate the water jets from below.
Saw it on a news station that didnt post a link to the web, so I may venture to take a photo.

Maybe the lights will help them understand to go right? |

I think that's the plan, but then, we're sober (possibly). |

It is surrounded by orange barrels. I supposed it could be just off, but why would it be off today?
If it has to be surrounded by orange barrels, it will be the ugliest half a million dollars we ever spent.

It was already ugly. I sure hope there was some sort of agreement that if something breaks within 3 weeks, it'll get fixed by someone who fabricated or installed it. Has the company that installed the lights gone BK yet? |

maintenance, service, testing, or just for sport... lots of variables here including that the Contractor may not have wanted to place it into operation untill it was accepted by the City. What I do know, is the final acceptance documents and payment request has not reached me yet. |

The City has a standard one-year warranty period (per statute) requirment that starts with acceptance which is typically backed up by a bond. |

They're waiting on a surge protector for the lights. Guess they want to try and avoid what happened to the bridge  http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/downtown/repairs-complete-tulsa-fountain-to-light-up-downtown-soon/article_c656a2b3-0f52-5a30-9e66-cb634ccc48fa.htmlRepairs to Bartlett Square Fountain are complete but the fountain will not be turned on for another two weeks as the city awaits the installation of a surge protector, city officials said Monday.
"They have been done (with the repairs) since March 5. Now they are waiting on the surge protector," said Brad Crutcher, the construction manager for the city's Field Engineering Department.
Crutcher said the project was scheduled to be completed by the end of last week.
"They didn't want to turn the lights on until they get surge protectors," he said. "And that is supposed to happen in the next two weeks." |

I had this environmental event downtown today on the block to the north of the Bartlett Fountain. We had 30 plus booths and a live band. The fountain sprayed water all over because of the wind and ran down the street to the north in a three foot wide path. If affected the sound systems of the band and meant festival goers to have to jump across the flowing water to get across the street.
I didn't realize that when the Mayor said he was going to put water in the river he meant the new river on Main Street.
River Bartlett.
