The city decided to shut off the 30-plus drinking fountains in parks throughout the city in March of last year because of COVID-19.
After months of negotiating with the Ingham County Health Department, the city got the all clear to turn the fountains back on, said Parks and Recreation Director Brett Kaschinski.

City officials say all of the fountains are expected to be turned on by July 4.
