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.
