COUNCIL BLUFFS — Council Bluffs city crews were at Bayliss Park on Monday morning cleaning up soap bubbles after someone dumped laundry detergent in the fountain.

Vincent Martorello, director of public property, parks and recreation, said crews responded about 8 a.m. to a report of foam emerging from the fountain.

"This is not funny," Martorello said. "They will be out there flushing the system and cleaning up the suds for hours."

With the quick response, there should not be any damage to the fountain's piping. Martorello said the cleanup took away hours of work employees would normally use for other responsibilities.
