The Town of Amherst is proposing to use CPA funds for the Enos Cook Memorial Fountain in Sweetser Park. This fountain was designed by the Olmstead Brothers and constructed in 1910. A consultant with experience in construction and repair of stone fountains and memorials would be hired to: 1)    Perform an assessment and engineering study of the Enos Cook Memorial Fountain in Sweetser Park, 2)    Prepare a scope of work and bid specifications for restoration of the Fountain, and  3)    Design and construct a cover to preserve and protect the Fountain during the winter. An inspection of the Fountain has found increasing deterioration of the upper stone bowl, deterioration of the piping in the Fountain, and caulking and mortar issues in many of the stones.
