Calvert City residents have a new feature to enjoy in Memorial Park. The new, lighted fountain opened to residents Aug. 5, and has since brought a steady stream of children to play in the water. The fountain was in its planning stages for about three years, with construction beginning this fiscal year.
City Administrator John Ward said the city served as the general contractor on the project, subcontracting plumbing, electrical and concrete work. Minnesota-based Aquatix (formerly Aquatic Recreation Company), designed the water feature and pump system for the project. Final cost on the project was estimated at about $285,000.
The fountain is open to the public for water play from 8 a.m. until dark.
