City of Los Angeles Approves Waterless Urinals for All Buildings

And not just any urinals, the lucky winner is the H2Zero waterless urinal by Caroma, which beat out the competition to win this huge endorsement from one of the largest cities in the United States. Plus, green builders looking to get their permit approved now have one more ally on their side as this system has already been stamped off by the city.

In a city that has long had its battles with water conservation, this is just one more way to save lots and lots and lots of water. So just how did this "vitreous china urinal" clear all of the hurdles? Well, by making a product that outperformed the other urinals in operation, odor management, durability and waste build-up. If the city was going to approve a system that might make some people a little queasy, they had to find something that wouldn't leave a mess for anyone to have to deal with.

glad you have this on your post as the need for water conservation becomes more and more urgent. The City of LA has actually endorsed non-water using urinals for the past years and the Caroma mechanical trap one is only the latest. Check out www.waterless.com and www.falconwaterfree.com , these companies have been around almost 20 years and 7 years respectively and have made huge contributions to the water conservation awareness.
Cheers
