Reply to comment by a-german-muffin in When did they shut down the Art Museum step fountains? by Frummage

All fountains have plumbing issues. The real reason is that they're owned and maintained by the city and the city doesn't care to pay for them.

Yep this is the reason.

There are a lot of inactive fountains all over the city in various parks that haven't been turned on in decades, all because the city doesn't give a shit about them and puts in no effort to maintain them.
