They are kept clean by utilizing an electronic lock and key fob system. Residents who wish to have access, register and pay a $20 per year fee to rent a key fob which unlocks the restroom door. It has been very successful here and has kept vandals away. Where I currently live, we have a beautiful green space and walking track with nice, clean restrooms.

I agree it's a shame that Century can't Have anything nice , however ,If some of the Wonderful citizens of our sweet little town would like to volunteer to go clean these Bathrooms after Someone's vandalized, I'm quite sure the Town won't object... I have No problem With Renting the pavilion with the understanding the bathroom will be my responsibility while I use it .. Its called carrying your responsibility.. It would be FANTASTIC if others would do more of this instead of complaining .

There are a couple ways to do this. First, after the video is installed simply install ring doorbells which allow somebody during regular business hours to unlock the door remotely from their desk while doing their job. Second, install the remote door locks and issue passes for a small fee to use splash park facilities like the bathroom, and that person who wants to open the bathroom simply scans his season pass which allows the photo and the card information to go to an access data base or excel spread sheet capturing the time, date, photo, and season pass information in the data base. I cleaned bathrooms when I got a work permit to allow me to work at 15. Public bathrooms can get nasty unless you train staff to keep them immaculate and stocked. It is a training issue, and yes it could get bad, but my job was to make sure the public had a bathroom despite human failings. Government do your job.

If you are, look at the gates around the walking trail at the County Extention Service.. Gates with no fences. Not to mention the placement of the benches around the trail. Drive on to the east on Nine and1/2 mile road and look at the placement of the sidewalk, too close to the road. I could go on but everyone gets the idea. @ M in Bratt,

This could turn this place into a health dept. nightmare. First they built it without any consideration for how to supply water for it. Now the restrooms are a problem. It just seems like some members of the clown show would have thought through some of this BEFORE they built it. Sometimes FREE stuff isn't really FREE.
