Wrangell is expecting a tourism surge this summer, but it has a problem. It has only one public restroom facility, and it's expensive to build new toilets. So, to fill the gap, the government bid on two high-end port-a-potty stalls on eBay.
After hours-long tours up the Stikine River or down to the Anan Wildlife Observatory, visitors to Wrangell in Southeast Alaska often step off the jet boat and ask, “Where’s the nearest bathroom?” But Wrangell’s only downtown public restroom facility is a small brown building with just two toilets.
“That’s going to put over 1,000 passengers hitting the streets of Wrangell with no place to go potty,” Stikine River Jet Boat Association Executive Director Caitlin Cardinell told borough assembly members at a meeting last April. “The majority of the downtown businesses here do not have public-access restrooms or the capacity to provide for the public.”
Unlike the recognizable blue or green of regular portable toilets, these stalls are white and have their own sinks. They’ll be connected into the borough’s wastewater system on a corner lot near the city dock, eliminating the need for a truck to pump out sewage.
