Clean The Gnome Fountain

*"Dirtfinder, did you know we're going up in the world? The mayor recently said to me 'Warden, we're going up in the world. I'm not currently at liberty to say why or how, but Muckingham needs every potential tourist attraction that it can lay its hands on. Leave no stone unturned, lest it be a jewel.' Or something to that effect.*

*So, I sent my deputy, Earl, out and about to see what he could find, and in less than three weeks he found a sorry-looking fountain near the edge of the middle of the recreational grounds. It urgently needs a splash of your expertise. Do what you can, Dirtfinder."*

**Park Warden*** It's a gnome fountain for obvious reasons, but what do you think it's made out of?
* Cos if it's some kind of marble, then we can potentially repurpose it into a new Park Keeper's lodge.
 *At 1 star*

**Park Warden*** You see, the virtues of marble are that it doesn't readily absorb heat or moisture.
 *At 2 stars*

**Park Warden*** I don't mind sayin' that I'm strugglin' to find the motivation to come to work.
 *At 3 stars*

**Park Warden*** Now, I couldn't help noticing that the fountain seems covered in a lustrous variety of moss, lichen and algae - three of my favorite things to find on a wall.
* Naturally moss sits on the throne, lichen second, algae third, although I do still have time for algae.
* Earl does, too. Sometimes I see him have a nibble as he passes the restrooms.
 *At 4 stars*

**Park Warden*** I gotta say, that is one heck of a fountain. Looks like that Keeper's Lodge idea is dead in the water. Oh, well.
* Say, what do you think the square footage of this thing is, once filled?
 *At 5 stars*

**Park Warden*** Y'know, Dirtfinder, looking at it in this glorious condition, I can't help but think that we've got ourselves a real money spinner here. Fill it with fresh water, plop in a few carp and a sprinkle of nickels and dimes and call it the Muckingham Wish Station. This place will be paying for itself in no time. Much obliged.

The **Specialist** Achievement has been renamed to the **Side Hustle** Achievement. This is earned after the first Bonus Job is completed.

## Trivia

* This level's gnome is located on top of a vending cart's red umbrella. This is near a red brick tower to the left of the player's starting position.
* The Gnome Fountain was the third winner of the first Community Map Request Vote, which was held on the official PowerWash Simulator Discord during July-September 2021. The other options were a Tractor, School Bus, or Dump Truck.
* Prior to The Muckingham Files content update, the level did not feature messages throughout the job. The previous overview message stated: *"A Powerwash Community Job! Restore the fountain to its former glory."*
* The Lower Basin Gnomes are identical to allow players to navigate the fountain without using the ladder. Additionally, the topmost Gnome Statue is meant to be the gnome king.
