FOUNTAIN, Colo. (KOAA) — The City of Fountain is asking community members to vote for their favorite design for a new City Hall fountain.
The existing structure suffered flooding damage in 2023. The city says that a FEMA grant has made it possible to obtain the needed funding to replace it.

The two final design options commemorate the 2026 anniversaries of America, Colorado, and Fountain.
To take a closer look at the designs and vote for your favorite, participate in the city's survey.
The survey will be open until City Council's next workshop on Tuesday, January 13.
