Geneva
Jet d'eau 140 m
The fountain began as a safety valve on the city's hydraulic network and was kept for its appearance. Five hundred litres a second, to a height of a hundred and forty metres. The Bureau approves of works that outlive their purpose. The city entered the Confederation in 1815, long after it had finished being a republic of its own. The register carries the later date because it is the one that can be documented, and notes that Geneva was old before it was Swiss.
