- Waterproofing and Insulation: A waterproof layer and insulation system are added.
- Glowing Blue Tiles: They have installed new glowing blue tiles, giving the lake an extra sparkle.
- 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.
