Celebrating Longmont Then and Now

Water Fountains Turned Off This Weekend
Water fountains in Longmont City Parks have been turned off for the weekend due to the cold temperatures. The National Weather Service is saying that it will be a low of 33 degrees starting Friday night and the City is trying to avoid any broken drinking fountains as a result. If the weather improves, the fountains will be turned back on Monday until the planned winter shutdown time.
