The MWRD's Nicholas J. Melas Centennial Fountain sprays an arc across the Chicago River at the top of the hour from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., May 1 through September 30. Recently the District has installed traffic signals at the river level to warn boaters of the water cannon operation the first 5 mins of every hour. The light will turn yellow as a two-minute warning to boaters that the cannon will be going off soon.


The MWRD's Nicholas J. Melas Centennial Fountain was unveiled in 1989 to celebrate 100 years of MWRD service.
