The Barcelona City Council has launched an initiative to ensure the correct functioning of the installations and prevent future water leaks. These works, which require the fountains to be completely dry, include emptying the basins, disassembling the fountain elements, sealing cracks, renovating the interior paving, and applying a comprehensive waterproofing treatment.

This is not the first time the fountains have undergone improvements. In 2015, a comprehensive renovation was carried out to optimize their efficiency and lighting system. On that occasion, a remote control system was installed to monitor hydraulic elements, safety systems, energy consumption, and water quality.

The two spouts, which resumed operation in April 2025 after drought restrictions, are a distinctive element of Plaça de Catalunya. They are located around the gallery of statues from the 1929 Universal Exposition and were built in 1959. The fountains consist of two symmetrical basins and two underground technical rooms, accessible from the transport interchange, establishing themselves as an essential part of the central urban landscape.
