Popular campus fountain resumes operations May 9

Following routine seasonal maintenance, Tivoli Fountain, the ornamental water feature on the west Capitol Campus, will be restarted for the 2014 season on Friday, May 9.

The Olympia fountain is a replica of the famous Roman-style fountain located in Tivoli Park, Copenhagen, Denmark – which in turn replicates elements of a famous fountain in Tivoli, Italy. The fountain was donated to the state by the Olympia-Tumwater Foundation and dedicated in April 1953.

Tivoli Fountain holds approximately 25,000 gallons of water during normal operation.
