Automatic Public Toilet in Queenstown NZ (31 August 2019)

Automatic Public Toilet in Queenstown NZ. It self clean after use. (31 August 2019). The unit, which launches into a self-cleaning process after every 30 uses, has lights indicating availability and push button entry. Soap, water, toilet paper and the hand dryer are all activated with a wave. The toilet also sends an automatic alert via an app to maintenance crews when supplies start running low. But users can’t linger too long over the bells and whistles. The toilet also has a 10-minute time limit which visitors ignore at their peril – after a final countdown, the doors open automatically. Unfortunately, this sophisticated toilet cost $300k. It’s not too clear if this is per piece or series of toilet. Will update later. (January 24, 2024).
