Some places have a lot of water to use (or waste depending on your 
perspective).
My first trip to London UK I was amazed to find the water supply 
capacity, if it did not rain, was for 2 weeks? Australians try for a 
capacity of 5 years.

Some of these 'fountains' are supplied from a spring/stream so if it is 
really dry then the fountain too dries up.
No point in having a mechanism to turn these off .. the water still goes 
down the hill.
