Ice Water Residence Problem

I have a problem that has been bothering me for a while now, how ever I didn't know where exactly to post this thread.

My whole res is an Ice biome. I can't do anything about it. Ever single time I place water, it turns to ice, and this ruins my residence a whole lot because I am trying to make a big water fountain for my muesuem.

So my question is; is there a way/flag to stop the water from turning to ice? It has been quite an annoynace when I have to buy lots of torches and they are not even working..

You can try putting a layer of glass at the top of the residence at build limit.

You can put blocks above the water, or for the price of 20k (I think?) you can have a Senior Staff member change your residence biome.

Glowstone under the water?

Light works.

You can pay a Sr. Staff to change your biome for 10k

Here is the complete list of Senior Staff Services: http://empireminecraft.com/wiki/senior-staff-services/
