Talk about causing a stink . A 'mystery pooper ' has reportedly soiled a New Zealand swimming pool for five Friday nights in a row . The frustrated administrators of Invercargill 's Splash Palace complex have lost thousands of dollars of business cleaning up after a patron 's foul play , stuff.co.nz reported . One evening was particularly disastrous , with managers having to close three different pools as those responsible leap-frogged from one pool to another . Splash Palace , pictured , describes itself as one of New Zealand 's premier pools . Unfortunately , a so-called 'mystery pooper ' has reportedly soiled the waters five times , requiring six hours of cleaning . Manager Pete Thompson told Fairfax : 'They did one in the leisure pool and we moved the kids to the learners ' pool , and they did one in the learners ' pool and we moved the kids to the main pool , and one appeared in the main pool , so we had to shut the whole thing down . 'In one of those pools was diarrhoea ... that was unfortunate . ' Mr Thompson said the incidents occurred after 5pm on Friday evenings . It is unclear whether one person or more is behind the incident , with a local councillor quoted saying : 'We have a mystery pooper ' . It wo n't help Invercargill 's sometimes battered reputation . According to local folklore , a member of the Rolling Stones once dubbed the city the ' a***hole of the world ' .
