Suwanee Fountain to make a splash

The Big Splash Fountain, Gwinnett County's largest interactive fountain at Town Center Park in Suwanee made its first splash in 2008 May 21.

Beginning May 21, the fountain hours will be daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Hours of operation will be reduced to meet the state's goal to reduce water usage by 10 percent.

The fountain opened in June 2006 and has not been in operation since fall 2007 due to the extreme drought conditions in North Georgia, but according to Suwanee city officials, the fountain will run throughout the summer as long as drought conditions do not worsen and the state and the county continue to permit it.

The fountain recycles most of the water, but some water is lost due to evaporation and carry off.
