Report: D.C. transit department spent about $500k on a broken toilet. Sharrie Williams reports during Action News at 4 p.m. on July 29, 2019.
WASHINGTON D.C. (WPVI) -- A new report found that the transit department in Washington, D.C. spent about a half-million dollars to try and fix the same toilet over and over again.
This is no ordinary toilet, however. It's supposed to be a self-cleaning toilet. It was installed in 2003.
However, it never quite worked right, and was finally taken out of service earlier this year.
