The Society is disappointed to learn that the dancing fountains on the Cornhill, although still working are failing to ‘dance’. They can still produce equal vertical columns of water from most of the outlets but can no longer issue varying jets from the eighteen different nozzles at different times. We’ve also noticed that some of the nozzles are blocked. We understand that this is a computer problem rather than a mechanical or hydraulic problem. Frustrating; however we wish the engineers well in solving this issue.

The repaving and upgrading of the Cornhill cost some £4 million in 2018, with the fountains creating additional dwell time.
