Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to water fountain structures, and more specifically relate to modular fountain structures that include an adjustment bezel for changing a flow of water via an adjustable valve housed within the fountain structure. Adjustments to the valve to adjust the flow of water are effected by accessing the valve at the site of the fountain structure. The adjustment bezel or other manipulable device is incorporated with each fountain structure to provide control for flow of water emitted from the fountain, as the adjustment bezel is accessible without removal and/or disassembly of the fountain structure.
