		<description><![CDATA[The fountains are not officially named the &#8220;manhole fountains&#8221; but that is appropriate as the intent was to depict two manholes where the lids were blown off during a heavy rain event&#8211;typical in a few places near here-and water gushing into the street.

The water from the adjacent pump/water treatment vault streams up a hole in the center of the large center stone. From the center channels are carved in winding paths and the water flows to the edge where the [...]]]></description>
