Woman pays $493 water bill in pennies in protest at high prices

A woman used pennies to pay her water bill of almost $500 (£358) to protest about rising costs.

Dana McCool shared a Facebook Live video of her walking into the water department in her home city of Deltona, Florida, where she paid up with 49,000, 1 cent coins.

It reportedly took staff more than three hours to count them all.

Ms McCool said she decided to perform the “peaceful protest” against the utility firm over the $493 (£358) bill in the wake of problems she encountered in 2016 when she got several bills as high as $700 (£509) for about six months.
