The city of Philadelphia is asking people to refrain from swimming in dumpsters after a block party rented trash bin and turned it into a makeshift swimming pool over the weekend.

Online news site Billy Penn reported that a genius group of people rented a dumpster, filled it with water from a fire hydrant, and created their own pool.

Unfortunately, the city was not amused.
The city “will not issue permits for block party dumpster pools,” Karen Guss, communications director for the Department of Licenses and Inspections, said in a statement, according to Billy Penn.

"We are not screwing around, Philly," Guss added.
