I was wondering as well.... I loved to see the Edison Fountain shooting up through the trees from the left field upper deck of Comerica Park... a very nice sight

I went by Scott Fountain on Belle Isle on a beautiful day last week and it too had no water in it. Lame.

That may have been because of some of the construction. I believe it was on this past weekend.

Alger Fountain (located in the east side of Grand Circus Park) is "on." I saw it last night. It's a great fountain, even if it doesn't spray a lot of water around.

Edison Fountain (located in the west side of Grand Circus Park) wasn't "on" yet, but they will probably have it on soon.

The fountain in Harmonie Park was recently turned on, as well as the recently restored Bagley fountain in Cadillac Square.

Speaking of water, has anyone happened to notice any of the sprinklers operating in the newly planted Woodward Ave planters or on the median lawns on either lower Woodward or Washington Blvd? All of that new landscaping is looking very parched.

Erikd, I walked by Bagley Fountain (the small white in the middle of cadillac square, right?) last night at about 10 PM, and it was off. It looked bone dry. where did you hear it was on?
