| Horse Watering Trough Fountains |
|
At the beginning of the 2009 summer we began the task of getting the horse watering trough on Main Street working agian. Some local volunteers helped to dig-up and replace the water pump, lift off the top to clean out the drains and spouts, clean out the bowl (It had been used in previous summers to hold flowers), and install a timer.

Then we began working on the second fountain at the intersection of the North Haven Rd. and High Street. Both fountains were originally fed from town water and later redesigned with a holding tank that would allow the water to be recycled. This fountain was also cleaned and outfitted with a timer. We also installed a float in the water tank (much like a toilet works), so if the water became too low (from evaporation or not draining back into the tank) the pump would shut off.
