Every minute, 600 gallons of water circulates through hundreds of jets to create a beautiful display of waterworks. The jet in the center of the fountain can hit 25 feet alone! The fountain shuts down 5 months out of the year to winterize the pipes but back on for all to enjoy April 1 through October 30th. The rest of the history, significance and maintenance record can all be found on the General Administration under the Tivoli Fountain tab.
