Executive Director Laurie Findley said the fountain was purchased through a grant from Public Service Company of New Mexico as part of MainStreet’s revitalization effort.
The fountain was created by Albuquerque artist Benny Duran, who also created the wayfinding pots placed around Deming.
Findley said crews are working on getting the right system in place for pumping the water between the pots.
As part of the project, Findley said they have developed a Friends of Deming MainStreet custom brick fundraiser in which anyone can purchase a personalized brick that will be placed around the base of the fountain.
Bricks are $100 each and are limited.
Anyone interested in purchasing a brick should contact Deming MainStreet at 546-2674.
