Every five years, one of the two pumps that powers the Jet d'Eau undergoes a full overhaul, which can take several months, the SIG said on Tuesday. It is replaced by a spare pump in order to minimise the impact of this overhaul on the operation of Geneva's landmark.

As part of the annual maintenance programme, teams will service the valves, pumps and motors located in the room beneath the Jet d'Eau. They will also service the external lighting system. Subject to weather conditions, the lake-side installation is expected to be back in operation on December 4, the SIG said.
