There is more than one warning sign:
What I noticed after returning to the fountain was that there are actually two signs in front of the fountain instead of one. This means that it would be unlikely to miss both of the signs. Although I may have missed viewing one of those signs, I was still able to come in contact with the other.
Larger image of what the sign says:
One of the things that I had forgotten to place in my previous post about the fountain is an image that is in better quality to read. This way, instead of having to zoom into the image to view the wording on either sign, I zoomed into the specific area for anyone to read clearly.
Electrical wiring, lights, and Chlorine:
When I went to visit the fountain again the other day, I noticed that it was turned off due to the weather being cool.
Entering in the area, I toke some pictures of the inside and outside of the fountain to show what the sign is trying to explain to people about what kinds of hazards the fountain possesses.
Looking down into the fountain, it looks safe to jump in. However, there are a few things that is being shown in the image that helps to explain why it isn't safe to be in or on the fountain.
First is these things. I'm not entirely sure what they are, but it could be related in draining the fountain. When the fountain is on, the water levels are much higher than what is shown in the overview image. I don't know if it is manually or automatically able to open or close with either electronics components or by human action. Either way, it still posses a danger to an individual playing inside the fountain, being either an electrical or a tripping hazard.
Also, the water located in the pool is covered in Chlorine, which is specifically used to purify the water from any contaminants. It isn't clear how much is put into the system, but if the signs say that the Chlorine that is in the water is part of a hazard for the fountain, it would only mean that there is larger-than-normal doses being put into the water.
This particular thing is located all around the inner ring of the fountain. This helps provide more water to move into different directions at the same time. The hazard of this item can be from falling into it while inside the water area. As for the outer edge nearby, it can be extremely dangerous since the white material surrounding it is slippery and someone could be impaled or have any similar injury as a result of falling.
Speaking of slipping, if a person were to slip from that particular edge, they would either fall forward into the water, or fall backwards in a 2-3 foot drop on the cement or grass. This can lead into different scenarios of injuries or even death as a result of poor judgement.
This particular thing is display lights. They are located within the fountain, nearby the main spout of water in the middle of the fountain. A wire is shown attached to the device. This shows as proof that there are wires located in the bottom of the fountain. It isn't clear how secure they are to the fountain, but they are placed there.
Here is another image showing the main spout, as well as the many wires leading to specific ports. This shows how dangerous the fountain is with all the electric wiring flowing through it. If someone were to somehow severed any of the wires, it would electrify the hell out of anything that is in or around the water source.
Located just outside the water area are more lights. They are located within the outer ring of the fountain. This shows that the entire fountain, both inside and out, contains electrical circuits, plumbing, and wiring necessary to make more of a hazard and less of a public pool.
The idea of playing in or on the fountain is idiotic. The people who does this kind of thing want to find a way to cool off for the summer, swim at a water park. If they can't afford to go to such a place, buy a plastic pool and, followed by filling it up using a water hose.
