After years of Democrats letting them sit broken and dry, President Trump is restoring water fountains across D.C. to full functionality!
The revival of the long-neglected fountains is part of President Trump’s “Making the District of Columbia Safe & Beautiful” initiative, which he put into place through an Executive Order last year.
Per DC News Now:
Many fountains and water features are being rehabilitated and upgraded as part of the work.
ADVERTISEMENTThe effort supports the president’s executive order, “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful.”
The order calls for federal action to enhance the safety, cleanliness and visual quality of Washington’s public spaces ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday.
The first fountains, in Lafayette Park, officially turned back on today.
See it here for yourself:
An "exciting update" for D.C. residents and visitors as fountains around the city begin to turn back on after years of sitting dry, broken.

It’s little things like this that add up to make our nation’s capital city that much more of a nice place to be in.
Now, just wait for an activist judge to order President Trump to turn them off again…
Where is a liberal judge ruling to fight for the broken fountains and cesspool water?
