To check out what it will look like, click this link: http://www.aquamasterfountains.com/MASTERS/M-CrystalGeyser-IF-Main.html and to see a video click here: http://www.aquamasterfountains.com/MASTERS/M-CrystalGeyser-Video.html. We expect the new fountain to save us as much as $300 per month or $1,500 per year in electrical costs due to better technology.

of the fountain.  

Both float plate and pump are broken resulting in total loss.  The
fountain will not be on again this year and over the winter; the Board
will be purchasing a new fountain to be ready for use next spring.

Thx,

Dave

The fountain has not been working since late August because the motor has failed.  It will be pulled from the pond on 9/10 and we won’t know if it can be repaired for a few weeks. 

If you have any questions, please send the Board an e-mail (board@clpn.net) or call Dave at (763) 323-3263.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Dave

  • The water table for the City of Champlin is usually 20′
  • The current water table is just below 18′
  • This effects all areas of the city including our pond
  • The area has been in drought conditions for the past 2 years and it has started to catch up to us
  • The pond has been high this summer due to the construction of Hayden Lake Road and the construction company pumping ground water into the pond during construction
  • Now that construction has completed the water table is going back to its normal location
  • What is needed to solve this problem is more rain and a big snow fall this winter to “reset” the water table

We will continue to monitor this situation and pass information along when we have it.
