The Bell Tower Green water wall and splash pad will be turned off for extended periods while City staff and engineers investigate unusually high water usage and ongoing mechanical issues with the system.

There may be short intervals when the feature is turned on for testing, but regular operation will remain paused.

As we work through this process, the City remains committed to being good stewards of our community’s water resources, especially during ongoing drought conditions.

We will share updates as soon as more information is available. If you have questions, please contact the City of Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department by calling 704-216-PLAY.
