Chicago Gets Its First Self-cleaning Public Restroom Next Year

A very unique public restroom is coming to Chicago, and it's the very first time that this type of modern facility is coming to the state of Illinois.

Self-Cleaning Public Restroom Is Coming To The Windy City

When nature calls, you've got to answer because when you've got to go, you've got to go. I'm talking about using the restroom. Unfortunately, there isn't always one nearby, which, depending on the situation, could be a serious issue. Recent studies have found that for a city of its size, Chicago doesn't have enough public restrooms.

The other major problem with public restrooms, especially in Chicago, is that even if you can find one, it's probably not clean enough to use. That might even be a worse situation than not being able to find one.

Remember, this is just a start, but Chicago will be getting a new public restroom next year. It's not your everyday facility. This one is special. It's self-cleaning. No more worrying about a gross toilet. There will also be a time limit, so people can't camp out in there. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

According to Book Club Chicago...

A self-cleaning, free, and standalone public restroom will be installed in the 1st Ward next year, the first of its kind to open in Chicago.

 

Ald. Daniel La Spata (1st) confirmed this week that his years-long quest to provide publicly available toilet facilities in the city is finally moving forward — and it could be the first of more to come.

 

The public restroom will come from JCDecaux, the company that provides street furniture like bus shelters as well as other services to the city.
