Information has just reached me that Ealing Council has not only raised a Purchase Order for the purchase of a new Walpole Fountain Pump, it has mailed the Purchase Order to a pump supplier! I'm also told that the new pump will arrive and be installed 'in a few weeks'. So - what do you think....fountains by maybe May, June, July...maybe just in time for the pump power supply to be diverted for use by the Summer Festivals generally and to power the Amusement Rides their operatives' mobile homes? Oh dear. The other awful possibility is that as the fountains effectively act as hosepipes and throw water spray up into the air they may be subject to the 1991 Hosepipe Ban statute which comes into force in April. If they do the Council could be fined up to £1,000 for every infringement of the hosepipe ban if and when they run the fountains. |
