Abstract: A faucet including a spout having a passageway configured to receive water from a water source. An open chamber is coupled to the passageway. The open chamber extends from a first side of the spout to a second side of the spout. The second side is opposite the first side. A trough is disposed within the open chamber of the spout. The trough is configured to receive water from the passageway. A spillway is disposed within the open chamber of the spout. The spillway includes a crest coupled to the trough, the crest being configured to permit water in the trough to flow thereover. A chute wall is coupled to the crest, the chute wall being configured to receive water flowing over the crest. An outlet is defined by the chute wall at the second side of the spout, the outlet being configured to deliver water from the faucet.
