The Portland Loo: A Unique Solution to a Universal Problem

The city's first solar powered Portland Loo was unveiled on 12/8/2008 as Mayor-elect Sam Adams proudly took the first flush! The Loo is now open for business on NW Glisan St. between 5th and 6th Avenues. Future Loos are in the works.

The Portland Loo is one of the nation's first cost-effective public toilet prototypes. The Portland Loo has been specificially designed to protect privacy while also preventing nefarious activity of any sort. The City of Portland is proud to be the innovater of such a design.
