Students step over 'rivers of urine' after green bathrooms plan for waterless urinals turns a high school yellow... and it will cost $500,000 to fix

School officials at Spanish River High School thought they had found an environmentally-friendly, cost-saving solution for their bathrooms when they installed Falcon Waterfree urinals in their boys bathrooms.

But with no water moving through the school's copper pipes to flush the urine into the sewer system, the waste produced noxious gases that ate through the metal, leaving leaky pipes that allowed urine to drip into walls and flow onto floors.

Now, the school district, which was hoping to save $100 a year in water costs for each waterless urinal, must pay $500,000 to repair the damage and replace the appliances with the traditional flush variety in four high schools.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

While traveling, I have run across those waterless urinals, and every one has made the whole room smell like urine.

It is no secret that  ammonia from urine will corrode copper waste pipes.  I hope they replace the pipes with something more suitable to the task.

This has been a known civil-engineering fact in the western world for nearly 3,000 years.

This is the mania of "progressives" the idea that you can forsake the old knowledge for no reason other than it is old and do somethign new fo no other reason than it is new; when the reality is their "new" is the old knowledge's "tried, fail and discarded for that which works better."
