Vitruvian Pond Pump Repairs To Take 2-3 Months

If you've visited Vitruvian Park lately, you may have noticed that the waterfall is not running. Unfortunately, the recirculation pumps in Vitruvian pond that pump the water for the fountains have failed and need to be replaced. The Town's installation contractor has indicated that because the lead time for receiving the pumps is approximately eight to ten weeks, repairs will take roughly two to three months.

In addition to powering the waterfall, the pumps recirculate water throughout the pond to aerate it and keep the water from becoming stagnant. Stagnant water can increase algae growth which creates ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. A lack of aeration can lead to an increase in ammonia levels which can potentially harm the natural wildlife in and around the water. 

Thank you for your patience as we work to make these important repairs.
