DC’s iconic fountains are flowing as America gears up for its 250th anniversary.
For the first time since 2007, the Columbus Circle Fountain at Union Station is running once more. Last week’s ribbon cutting marked a major milestone in the effort to restore Washington’s historic public spaces ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration this summer.
The cascading fountain at Meridian Hill Park—one of the longest in North America—also returned to service this May after seven years offline, bringing another beloved DC landmark back to life.
Procon is proud to partner with Brown Construction Services, Inc. and the National Park Service on the citywide fountain restoration program, rehabilitating decades-old systems at landmarks across the capital, including Dupont Circle, Sheridan Circle, Simón Bolívar Memorial, John Marshall Park and more than 20 other fountains.
From long-dormant water features to renewed civic spaces, it’s rewarding to help preserve and revitalize these iconic landmarks for future generations to enjoy.
