This converted fountain was provided by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1914 and was originally located in front of the old post office. Today the fountain is a planter with a variety of plants and flowers. The fountain is a green colour with pockets on three side that caught water from the lions on each side.

Nearby is a modern water fountain.

for use by both citizens and animals.
