You want to work with your object at the origin (<0,0,0>), manipulate 
it, then translate it to it's final position. I think you are assuming 
that the fountain stem is at <0,0,0>. What if you move it?  SO here, 
what you really want to do is define a max radius for your circle sweep.

#local maxRad = 0.3;
#declare FountainSpray=
union {
     #local dy = 0.055;
     #local YY = 0.82;
     #for (MR, 0.02, maxRad, 0.02)
         #for (KK, 0, 359, 12)
             sphere {
                 MR*x, 0.01
                 rotate KK*y
                 translate YY*y
             }
         #end
         #local dy = dy-0.01;
         #local YY = (YY+dy);
     #end
//    material {agua}
     material{ texture { Glass3  } // end of texture
               interior{ I_Glass } // end of interior
             } // end of material -------------------

}

#declare FountainPos = <0,0,0>;
object {FountainSpray translate FountainPos}
