There was a complaint, and they were asked to remove the lawn ornament.

I'm not sure how I feel about seeing the Virgin Mary turned into a water feature!
According to the intent of the water feature approach, I would guess that you could simply incorporate the statue into a water fountain. I don't think it is necessary for the water to pour forth from within the statue.

What is bad about this situation is the misinformation regarding the HOA fines. That is not possible since we do not have a HOA. We are CDDs with deed restrictions.
