COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Workers are reinstalling a historic fountain in downtown Council Bluffs after a renovation by an Alabama company. The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports workers began installing the 120-year-old Broadway Fountain on Thursday and hoped to finish soon. Crews must complete plumbing work before water begins flowing through the fountain.

The City Council awarded a nearly $100,000 contract to Andersen Construction Co. to oversee the project. Alexander City, Alabama-based Robinson Iron reattached pieces of the fountain that had broken free, cast some new pieces and painted the fountain. Council Bluffs Parks Director Larry Foster says it looks largely the same as before the work, but “that is what restoration is supposed to be.”

The fountain was originally in Bayliss Park but was moved later to West Broadway and Pearl Street.
