Many Chicagoans know of the Centennial Fountain for the Water cannon that shoots its arcs over the river, but also included is a semicircular waterfall. The waterfall and the water cannon both operate from 8:00pm to 11:00pm every day starting on Memorial Day and ending on Labor Day. 

The Centennial fountain was constructed in the honor of the Chicago River reversal.

As the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Chicago was soon to celebrate it's 100 year anniversary, Lohan associates came up with building a fountain along the Chicago River in it's honor. They designed a fountain that includes a sculptural sun dial along the side of the river. Lohan also thought of naming the fountain after long time MWRDC Board of Commissioners president Nicholas J. Melas. The fountain was opened to the public in 1989.
