Who left the tap on? Japan teacher in hot water over pool bill


TOKYO (AFP): A Japanese school has been hit with a US$27,000 water bill after a teacher in charge of pool maintenance left a tap on for months hoping to stop coronavirus infections.

The teacher, who has not been identified, thought a constant flow of fresh water into the pool would keep it Covid free and left the tap on from late June to early September.
