The first problems in the Vingriai springs square, which opened a week ago. Everything was nice and tidy on opening day, and after a while the water was turned off. As it turns out, this is not a malfunction.
The municipality promises to resume the water flow as soon as the leaves fall. Those who want to see the renovated square will not see it in all its glory these days, because the municipality has deliberately turned off the water flow.
"The water flow in Vingriau Square has been stopped due to falling tree leaves, which are severely clogging the water drainage system. The flow is likely to resume as soon as the leaf fall is over. We want to emphasize that the water in the square flows naturally, so its release does not cost the municipality extra," he comments. Vilnius city municipality.

The historic watering place has been re-marked - the spring water has been brought to the surface and flows through a special open channel that ends in a spiral pool.
