He cites several of our current installations as examples, and even took the time to get feedback from our existing customers. Enjoy your reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urben Blu, a Quebec-based company, offers pre-fabricated self-cleaning washroom facilities, which have been installed in various municipalities across Canada, including some in Ontario. These facilities provide a clean environment as they are automatically cleaned and disinfected after each use, with additional deep cleaning options available if needed. Safety features include automatic opening after 20 minutes, a warning sound after 15 minutes, and notification of emergency responders in case of overdose incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The durable units are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and vandalism, with easy cleaning options for graffiti. Municipalities find them efficient, requiring fewer staff check-ins compared to traditional washrooms. The products come with a 10-year warranty and use non-proprietary parts for easy maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sudbury, where there&#8217;s a recognized need for more public washrooms, community advocates are pushing for the installation of 24\/7 accessible facilities downtown. While there are existing options, they have limitations, including restricted hours and potential barriers for certain individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-degrade-bleu-fonce\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sudbury.com\/local-news\/quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-7497646\">read the article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-Sudbury-News.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-Sudbury-News.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-426482f5-02e8-4a5a-a8e4-4a35b53caa08\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-Sudbury-News.pdf\">Quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-Sudbury-News<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Quebec-company-has-potential-solution-for-public-washroom-issue-Sudbury-News.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-426482f5-02e8-4a5a-a8e4-4a35b53caa08\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always on the lookout for a sustainable solution to the Sudbury area&#8217;s publi&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1108,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medias"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1590"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1927,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1590\/revisions\/1927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
