An image printed on the back of water bills in the holy city of Qom has caused problem. According to Baztab, a website close to the administration, the image, which is also shown here, tries to increase awareness about the benefits of a public sewage system. To do so, it shows sewage coming out of an urban area and fed to vegetation, after it is processed. The urban area, however, is represented using an iconic picture of the Feyzieh seminary. That is why , according to Baztab, “some people’s understanding of this image is that the output from mosques and seminaries is not science, but is sewage which is processed by the government and then fed to the nation”. Baztab also reports that the bills are recollected.
