City officials unveiled a public toilet at Embarcadero Plaza this past week that is part of a project to replace 25 existing public toilets in San Francisco.

The project is a partnership with the same company, JCDecaux San Francisco, that provided the existing 25 self-cleaning toilets first rolled out in 1994.

According to the city's news release on the program, the original forest green Art Nouveau-style toilets are being replaced with a new model that has more efficient and effective cleaning systems, as well as better lighting that includes a skylight to bring in daylight from above and a rain-water collection network that supports routine washing.
