Portable Potties Provide Financial Solution
Why a budget - conscious park in Connecticut is choosing to provide a portable restroom trailer option, rather
than install permanent restrooms
East Lyme, Connecticut is using a state
grant to set up restrooms at their Cini
Park. Originally, the $500,000 w as to
be spent on permanent restrooms but
revised flood requirements caused the
long - awaited money to have to be part
of a different solution. It will still fund
the sewer and water pipes and outdoor
showers, but the town will add another
$70,000 to pay fo r a portable restroom
trailer, which can be moved indoors
during the winter and heavy storms, to be used instead.
