VIDEO: Bartlett Fountain Rededicated

KWGS News

Mayor Dewey F. Bartlett Jr., joined by District 4 City Councilor Blake Ewing and Downtown Coordinating Council Chairman George Shahadi, held a dedication today for the new Bartlett Square Fountain at Fifth Street and Main Street in downtown Tulsa.

The new fountain in the middle of the traffic roundabout features nine water jets springing from openings in the round structure. LED lights illuminate the fountain at night.

Construction of the fountain was completed in March. Tulsa firm Howell & VanCuren designed the plans for the fountain. The City contracted with Voy Construction for this $448,000 project. Funding for the project has come from Vision 2025 funds for historical markers and $100,000 in insurance claims from damage to the previous fountain.

Bartlett Square is named after Mayor Bartlett’s father, Dewey F. Bartlett Sr., who served as an Oklahoma State Senator, Governor of Oklahoma, and a U.S. Senator.
