It has a strong smell of chlorine at the minute. The problem will be when they decide they don't have the funding to keep cleaning.
This happened at Little Swiss too. I know somebody who ended up with a parasite lodged in their brain from the water there and spent months in hospital in Leeds.
I hope that's a poor attempt at a joke, but I have a feeling it's something that really happened? Ffs...
Don't want to pour cold water on this subject but although a welcome attraction at the moment these spouts of water are not the first ones in the city, if you walk to the Marina and up to the office buildings right at the end near to the lock gates, you may see these, not sure if they are switched on all the time as these pictures were taken a while back.
