Yahoo! News - Phoenix Airport Installing Dry Urinals Mon May 12,10:45 AM ET
PHOENIX - Dry urinals are being installed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to help the environment.
Airport officials are hoping the new urinals will prevent thousands of gallons of water from being wasted. They also hope to save money.
Two public urinals in high-traffic Terminal 2 and one urinal in an employee building will be replaced with the new urinals.
Unlike conventional toilets, the waterless system doesn't require flushing. Instead, urine passes through a floating cartridge filled with an oil-like substance that absorbs the fluid, fights bacteria and soaks odor. Traditional urinals use one gallon per flush.
Three of the urinals will be installed this summer.
