The original post concerned the Saddlebrook water spout - does anyone know why that one has been off for nearly two years?

It was operating continually for the first two years I lived here, so it is not a seasonal or migratory issue.

And I doubt that they would send up a 50' jet of water just to dissipate it. It was clearly designed to attract attention.

Anyway, I don't really care what the reason is - I just want it back as it was spectacular.
