The City of Tallinn is struggling to cope with people polluting fountains and a homeless person who repeatedly clogs the capital s fountains with paper.
Markko Maasik, the head of the technical department at Kardiorg Park, told ERR: There are people who wash in the fountains and even use them as a public toilet.
He said there is a long-running problem with one particular person, known as the paperman (paberimees), who throws large amounts of paper into fountains after washing which causes blockages. We have discussed this issue with the Police and Border Guard Board as well as with Mupu, but we cannot stop him with legal methods, said Maasik.
