Fountain Installed at Hemisfair Park in San Antonio, TX

Public spaces deserve plumbing that works as hard as the people who use them. When Hemisfair Park needed a new splash fountain installed at their iconic San Antonio location, Rapid Plumbing was on the job — handling everything from underground water line installation to final leak verification.

The Challenge: Getting Water Where It Needed to Go

Installing a new fountain in an established park isn't as simple as connecting a hose. The water supply had to be extended from the existing deck area to the new fountain location — and that meant crossing beneath a concrete sidewalk without tearing it up.

Our team created an access point in the adjacent sandpit area and tunneled beneath the sidewalk to run a new ½" sleeved PEX water line. Sleeving the line protects it from shifting soil and makes future access possible without major excavation. Once the line was positioned and routed correctly, we poured a concrete patch over the access point and let it cure before moving to the next phase.

Installation and Testing

After the concrete dried, we returned to complete the job. The fountain pump was mounted in place, the new water line was connected, and the system was tested to ensure everything was operating correctly with no leaks present. From underground work to surface finish, the entire installation was handled by our team.
