PITTSBURGH — A foundation is offering $1 million in matching funds to a group raising money to fix the fountain at Pittsburgh's Point State Park.

The Colcom Foundation is matching any donations collected by the newly formed Friends of the Fountain Campaign, through Nov. 24.

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says Point State Park doesn't have sufficient electrical service to operate the primary central pump which sprays water straight up in the air.

Plans are to fix that problem, add lighting and reconstruct seating and a basin around the fountain at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers. The fountain opened in 1974.

The work should be finished in 2011.
