it's a good idea and all, these nice brand new Kohler urinals. No water, no flush, thousands of gallons of H2O saved every year.

But they smell fucking horrible. All that piss, just sort of trickling out to the sewer line eventually, never really washed away. Yuck. What possessed my boss to have these installed? Eesh.

Wouldn't they smell like piss?

Unless someone misunderstood the function of a urinal.

gross!

yes they do... we have them here at my job

i would think they would want to flush them out at least once a day depending on the traffic at your restrooms.

I came across some eco-friendly restrooms once on Vancouver Island. They were designed more or elss like glorified outhouses, but the, er, holding tanks, were designed with this special sort of bacteria that caused a quick breakdown of all the waste with no ecologically harmful by-product. A really good idea in theory. But you know what breaking down urine smells like? Ammonia!
