The Columbus Point development at Sovereign Harbour South, Eastbourne, has one of the largest water features in Europe. The 310-metre-long, anchor-shaped concrete structure, which comprises channels, cascades, and fountains and is crossed by pedestrian bridges, was officially opened in December 2003.
Owners of 369 residential properties (houses and apartments) in the area are covenanted in their deeds to pay for the water feature's management, running and maintenance.
The water feature is owned, managed, and maintained by Columbus Point (Management Company) Limited (CPMCL), a company set up by the developer for this purpose. In 2015, the company was transferred from the developer to the collective control of the local covenanted property owners; at the same time, the freehold of the feature was transferred to CPMCL.

Caution
The water in the feature is dosed with chemicals to restrict algae growth. The chemicals could cause a skin rash and stomach problems, so entering the water is very ill-advised and prohibited.
Keep children out of the water.
