Sign Text:
Dutch artist Tejo Remy and Rene Veenhuizen were commissioned to create a unique design enhancement for the fence surrounding the Water Pollution Control Plant. Ripple reflects the function of the plant and serves as a landmark and gathering spot for the community. The artwork, installed in 2015, consists of more than 800 linear feet of undulating fence panels the shape of which calls to mind the flow of water in and out of the facility. The panels are adorned with brightly colored "Widgets," which are based on the designers' interpretation of tools and methods used at the plant to treat 25 million gallons of wastewater from residences and businesses each day. A bench, installed in 2017, designed by Remy and Veenhuizen accompanies the fence enhancement and is installed right along the multi-use trail for all to enjoy.
