Victory Memorial's fountain in Ulan-Ude is malfunctioning.
In Ulan-Ude's Victory Memorial Park, the central attraction, the 'Star' fountain, has been operating with low water jets, causing concern among locals. According to posts on the Russian social media platform "VKontakte", the central jets of the fountain have not risen above a meter or so.
The fountain, located under a tank in the park, was recently opened after maintenance work. However, the condition of the nearby water basin is not specified. It is unclear if the water scarcity and poor water quality issues are affecting other fountains in the park.
One commenter on the "Anonymous 03" group on "VKontakte" noted that the low water jets issue has been ongoing for a long time. Another stated that the 'Star' fountain appears tired. Locals have also complained about being splashed by water blown by the wind from the high jets of the fountain.
The water in the 'Star' fountain is yellow and foams, and has an unpleasant smell, which has further heightened concerns about its condition. The heat could be a contributing factor to the current state of the fountain. Maintenance was performed on the fountain on an unspecified date, but the water was still dirty on June 28.
Despite these issues, no recent reports of problems with maintenance have been made for the 'Star' fountain. It is possible that the pumps may be damaged or energy conservation measures could be in place.
Local authorities or maintenance personnel responsible for the park could provide insights into any recent maintenance activities, repairs, or whether the heat has impacted the fountain's operation. A visual check by "Baikal-Daily" on July 3 did not notice any significant improvement after maintenance.
As the 'Star' fountain remains a popular attraction in Ulan-Ude, it is hoped that the necessary steps will be taken to restore the fountain to its former glory.
The local concerns about the 'Star' fountain's condition have been extensively discussed on VKontakte, a Russian social media platform. Many users have expressed their dismay, with one commenter describing the fountain as appearing tired. In addition to the low water jets, the water in the fountain is yellow, foamy, and has an unpleasant smell, leading to speculation about its entertainment value.
