Making progress on NYC Waterfall at Piers 4 & 5

Significant progress can be seen on all four of artist Olafur Eliasson's mega-public art event "New York City Waterfalls" -- including the one positioned between piers 4 and 5 below the Brooklyn Promenade.
Here's the view of the top:

Its progress had been lagging behind the three others -- under the Brooklyn Bridge, at Governors Island and at Pier 35 in Manhattan. Here's how it looked April 20:

The official website for the project has been updated to state the waterfalls will start flowing "from late June" (instead of mid-July,) in keeping with Eliasson's announcement last month at the Museum of the Modern Art where he was opening another one of his exhibitions: "Take Your Time."
The four East River waterfalls are expected to turn on daily through mid-October.
