City’s rehabilitation plans focus on a dry art feature, but former Mayor Rocky Anderson is pushing for water to flow again.Seven Canyons FountainAnd for decades, it was. But from 1993, the year it opened, fecal bacteria in that water shaped its fate.
“Seven Canyons Fountain has been an iconic fixture for many residents in Salt Lake City for three decades,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said in the release. “While I’m sad it is not feasible to restore it, I’m pleased we’ll be able to preserve it for future generations in an updated form.” Though the health worries were addressed with some additions and permissions, they never completely solved the problem. Thus, the 2017 closure.
“It never even occurred to us that we wouldn’t simply do what was required to solve the problem,” he said, “and get it back up and running.” Lifeguards would be needed as well, Wittenberg said, to meet a Salt Lake County Health Department requirement for publicly funded pools with water greater than 2 inches in depth.
