Soap in Pickwick Plaza Fountain Creates Mound of Suds

Greenwich Police Lt Martin O’Reilly said an incident involving soap in the fountain at Pickwick Plaza was reported to Greenwich Police on Monday Aug 15.

O’Reilly said the incident occurred sometime in the overnight hours between Sunday and Monday.

On Monday around 10:00am, as passers by stopped take photos, employees on Greenwich Avenue said there had been a large mound of suds in the fountain when they arrived to work earlier in the morning. They said they believed the suds were the result of a youthful prank.

The soap suds dissipated, and by 10:30 a worker was spotted sweeping the suds out of the fountain with a broom.

The story will be updated when more details become available from Greenwich Police.
