Westchester County Executive George Latimer, in one counter-clockwise maneuver of a lever, planted firmly into the ground at Croton Gorge Park, turned on the historic 20th century fountain at Croton Gorge Park. The spray of nearly 20 feet of water, shot up into the clear blue sky, as passers-by applauded and took pictures. The fountain has not been on in nearly a decade, after maintenance and reconstruction of the Dam. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection, owns the Dam. The fountain along with the Dam were built back in 1906. The fountain operates from the head pressure of the reservoir being so far above the fountain so there are no pumps. The water is piped through the Dam, underground to the fountain, and the overflow drain goes right into the Croton River. Major repairs have been made to the Dam over the years including the installation of railing around the fountain. #crotonaqueduct #oldcrotonaqueduct #oldcrotonaqueducttrail #crotongorgepark #westchester #westchestercounty #westchesterny #nycdep #westchestercountyparks #crotononhudson
