Awesome story from a neighbouring city:
A public toilet has produced an awesome water bill.
The city council wanted to make it real posh, so let it built with both a movement sensor AND a timer, which both made it flush. The movement sensor was set so it flushed a couple minutes after the room was entered. That sensor broke down, and so the timer automatically kept flushing no matter what, and as the pubilc toilet wasn't used THAT much, well, the city got the bill one fine day, and it said: 17.000 Euros, please! (22368 dollars)
Now the city doesn't want to pay
