Goodbye female urinals. These huge open-air pink pots that the City had placed on the François-Mitterrand mall did not meet their audience. And neighbors complained of having a bird’s eye view of the privacy of passers-by.
The mobile device, signed Lapee, had been tested all summer.
The experimentation is over, but the idea of stopping wild peeing persists.
The town hall therefore appealed to the company Weco. One of their mobile urinals in containers, without connection to the water network, will be placed this year on the mall.
No sink but gel
This version will be aimed at both men and women, indicates Le Mensuel de Rennes in its January issue. It will be completely closed and equipped with a lock. It can be moved at will. There will be no washbasin with soap but hydroalcoholic gel.
“We use a biological process with bacteria to settle and treat the faecal sludge on site,” explains the president of the company, Cécile Dekeuwer. Then everything goes into an electrolysis reactor. Electricity, water and salt produce chlorine by chemical reaction, the derivatives of which kill almost 100% of viruses and bacteria ”.
Yes, but what if someone messes up the system with paper or stamps? “Our very high-end design encourages good behavior. We never had a problem ”.
The price was not communicated but this device should cost “less than a version connected to the network, which will fetch in the 100,000 €”.
