Mission Bay fountain comes to life for America's Cup

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

The iconic fountain at Mission Bay will be turned on for the America's Cup regatta.

The popular landmark had its fountain turned off to save water during the region wide drought.

But the Orakei Local Board asked for the Trevor Moss Davis Memorial Fountain to be turned on temporarily.

The iconic fountain at Mission Bay will be turned on for the America's Cup regatta.

The popular landmark had its fountain turned off to save water during the region wide drought.

But the Orakei Local Board asked for the Trevor Moss Davis Memorial Fountain to be turned on temporarily.

"The fountain is iconic to Mission Bay and we thought it was an opportunity to have the area looking its very best not just for those in Auckland but those watching the racing from overseas,” said local board chair Scott Milne.

“There is an immediate feel-good factor for locals and businesses, but long-term benefits that could come by attracting visitors to our area in the future makes it a worthwhile exercise," Milne said.

“Knowing that the water in this fountain is reticulated and the only water loss would be from evaporation or from use helped us make this decision as the only additional cost to the ratepayer is the usual costs of running the fountain for two weeks.”

Are you in favour with the fountain operating during the racing?

The dog was wearing a collar . Do hope its found asap. Also, on Allum Street, I saw another black dog roaming but passed too quickly to see more. Do hope these gorgeous pooches are safe.
