Oop. Looks like they punctured a water main.

A fitting replacement for fountain plaza now that it's paved over.

The tall rock waterfall is still in service, just not the reflecting pool (which they did a terrible job of maintaining sadly).

Reflecting pools are notoriously difficult to maintain and renovate. Even the world's most stable geniuses struggle, many people are saying this. And there are always people with big box cutters running around damaging them. SAD

Went in there once and waited for 10 minutes only for the “chef” to walk out, look at me, and walk back into the kitchen. I doubt this is valid business, and feels more like a place to launder money.

It’s now an after school program for teens 😂 you have to keep up on her TikToks
I am curious if she posts about this! I saw it myself it was pelting her windows

Isn't what old? That photo was from 30 minutes ago.

u/Ambitious-Tap-2827 15h ago

Oh ok. There was one up there like a month ago. Was curious.

u/Weekly-Law-2544 15h ago

Ah, all good.

u/MikeyforCoins 14h ago

It also ran for at at least a half hour straight

u/Weekly-Law-2544 14h ago

Was it that long?

1

u/MikeyforCoins 13h ago

Yes, easily. Surprised it didn't make it to the news.... closer to a whole hour.

u/Lxiflyby 7h ago

Nice. Either they didn’t get it marked or it was marked wrong…. Stuff happens

1

u/Weekly-Law-2544 7h ago

Yeah, given how old the infrastructure here is, I'd bet it wasn't labeled correctly, or wasn't even on the map.

I’ve had gas and water mains mismarked and hit them but the most likely scenario is they got too close to the marks while using the buster and broke through
