July 16, 2014 | Hold the soap — please!

Friends and neighbors: For the second time this month, the fountain was “soaped” today (July 16) — detergent or something else thrown in to make it look like a giant bubble bath. This might seem like harmless fun, but it really takes a toll on the fountain works, and often means draining the pool, which wastes a lot of water. Please help us avoid this; let others know about this and please alert us if you see anyone putting anything in the pool (email us at fountainandwalk@gmail.com). Thanks very much!
