Ed. Note: We got our first sneak peek of the fountains flowing during testing on May 7th. Hopefully they stay on for the whole season now. Fences first went up in late December 2025.
Thanks to all who sent us photos yesterday and this morning: “Miracle of Miracles! Flowing and open to the public tonight at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park, Thursday evening. It was fenced off and not flowing this past weekend when I stopped by. This is lovely.”
MANY MORE Photos of the fountains filled and flowing: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Not only isn’t the DuPont Fountain not working anymore, but people are taking cell phone calls inside the dry basin. 😳”

I’ll take what we can get! Thanks to Aaron for sending earlier this morning:
“Yay! Fingers crossed it stays on.”
Stay tuned and enjoy it while you can!
