Prank gone too far?

It’s gotten more than 2,000 likes and hundreds of comments on KVIA.com’s Facebook page.

It’s the picture that shows one of the fountains at the Fountains of Farah overflowing with bubbles.

ABC-7 spoke with management at the Fountains and they suspect it was a prank.

People ABC-7 spoke with on Thursday have different opinions about the mischief.

“I thought it was funny…really, really funny,” said one shopper at the Fountains.

The picture shows some of those suds are 12 feet high.

When ABC-7 cameras arrived they found maintenance workers rinsing off the soap.
They say they found two gallons of empty dishwasher soap left behind. It took them about two hours to clean up the mess.

“Not many things like that happen here in El Paso so it’s kind of funny when things like that happen,” said another shopper.

Others say it’s unoriginal.

“It’s kind of funny but it’s kinda old school,” said Frank Wilcox.

Some don’t seem to be amused. KVIA.com Facebook subscribers like Patti wrote:

“This city does try to have nice things and compete with other big cities, but there’s always someone to mess it up.”

Josie wrote:
“Someone out there has total lack of respect for others property.”

Management at the Fountains of Farah say it already has the culprits on camera and it’s turning over the video to the authorities.

Fountains of Farah management says legal action awaits anyone caught doing this and police say those responsible can face charges and pay a fine if the property owner wishes to press charges.
