A lively night time economy is a positive for a city. On the other hand, one of the top three concerns resulting from a vibrant nightlife is related to public urination.
Public urination is a growing worldwide problem as many cities have closed down their toilets, whilst alcohol consumption at night is continuously growing.
Retailers and local residents have to put up with the odors and nuisance that indiscriminate urination produces.
Buildings get damaged, and whoever confronts an offender about his behavior risks provoking an aggressive reaction. Street urination is just one problem preventing the streets from staying free of (invisible) waste produced by visitors. Councils are faced with the fact that spending more money on standard toilet facilities is no solution to street urination.
Sanitation requirements for night time are different from the daytime because the people, their behaviour and needs are different. Usage patterns change, urination hot spots move and their number is significantly larger.
The solution – UriLift
UriLift is the creator of retractable urinals. These unique stand-alone stainless steel toilets and urinals are safely stowed underground during daytime and are in action only when needed. The unique designs can handle up to 150 users per hour. Average vandalism related cost are less than $200 per unit per year.
If well located in entertainment areas a few hundred litres of human fluids will be kept off the street per weekend.
