Talking Toilet Coming to Napa Valley

August 21, 2019

If you find yourself in a public restroom in St. Helena, Calif., be sure to take care of business quickly to avoid being exposed.

The city council has approved the construction of a talking and self-cleaning modular public restroom for downtown St. Helena, the Napa Valley Register reports. The restroom welcomes patrons with soothing music and features a toilet that disinfects itself after every 30 flushes. However, if patrons overstay their welcome, a voice warns them that the door will slide open soon. If they don’t leave, the restroom will alert local police.
