A discarded spa pool left in the middle of a Palmerston North road. Palmerston North City Council / supplied
Palmerston North City Council is seeking the owner of a spa pool found “smack bang” in the middle of the road.
“Did your spa pool fall off the back of your truck along Flygers Line on Thursday morning?” the council posted on social media on Friday morning.
“Don’t worry, we’ve rescued it from the middle of the road!”
A photo shows the spa pool filled with other rubbish, sitting on a rural road – which, the council noted, made it a hazard for drivers.
While people in the comments noted it was not likely to have been an accident, the council assured them they were working to find the owner.
“Great news – there’s a barcode on there, so we’re reaching out to the supplier to see who this belongs to and we’ll get in touch soon.
“You’ll then be able to collect it when we catch up with you at the courthouse. Lucky you!”
According to the council’s website, there was a $400 fine for illegal dumping.
