It would be interesting to know if there are restrictions on water features.
Bogie probably knows.
Does the statue have to be actively involved in water distribution?
Or can it just sit close to the water fountain.
In this case it's difficult to criticize ex Priests wanting to express their religiosity.
Who wants to criticize a statue of the Virgin Mary? I sure don't.
But is someone wanting to express their religiosity different than someone who wants to decorate a fountain with plastic flowers?
