Vandals continue to target the fountain in Kingwood Town Center

While many consider the pouring of substances into the Kingwood Town Center fountain to be a harmless prank, the consequences incurred by these actions pose a threat to public safety.
In early July, this prank resulted in the production of a massive amount of bubbles which proceeded to spill over onto the corner of W. Lake Houston Pkwy. and Kingwood Drive. Both the Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department had to be dispatched to deal with traffic and clean up the mess. The bubbles were so numerous that visibility in the intersection was impeded. The police proceeded to redirect traffic as the fire department hosed down and removed the mass of bubbles that had accumulated. The substance that created the bubbles was labeled as an “unknown substance” by the fire department.
