- Advanced Maintenance: The team will be using Underwater robots to scrub the lakebed. Moreover, the water quality will be regularly tested to keep it looking fresh.
These enhancements ensure the fountain remains both safe and spectacular, maintaining its signature charm while extending its lifespan.
