Campbelltown folks can experience a revolutionary lavatory that talks, washes and dries itself, expels loiterers after 10 minutes, and collects statistical data on toilet usage.

The new Exeloo Automated public toilet was installed in Mawson Park, Campbelltown, last month and is the latest in toilet technology. But don’t take the newspaper in — after 10 minutes the door flies open whether you’ve finished or not.

The three automated touch-free loos, with one disabled and two standard facilities, replace the aging brick toilet block in the heart of the CBD at a cost of more than US$250,000.

The month-old triple loo has received a flush of praise since its installation.

“I have been telling the council we need more like this for years,” Cr. Thompson said.

“I’ve had a lot of complaints about the old toilets because they were really shabby and people would inject themselves in there.

“These will reduce vandalism and anti-social behavior.”

Cr. Thompson said the unit washed itself down with disinfectant and water sprays after a preset number of uses, and then dried the surfaces with high pressure fans before becoming available for the next user.

“It speaks to you all the way through, and at 10 minutes it warns you that it’s going to open the door.”

Campbelltown Mayor Paul Lake said the council would install five more Exeloos this year.

“We are getting rid of all the old toilet blocks where possible and putting these new, modern toilets in,” Cr. Lake said.

“It’s cheaper to demolish and put new ones instead of trying to repair them.”

Cr. Lake said the council funded the new loos, except one at St. Helens Park Reserve, as part of the special rate variation.

“They will be going in one by one in this financial year,” he said.

“It will range from single to double toilets. The new one at Mawson Park has three toilets as it’s in the heart of the city.”

   坎贝尔镇（澳大利亚新南威尔士州）的居民将经历一场马桶革命。这款智能马桶不仅具有自动清洗、烘干的功能，还会和人说话，在如厕10分钟后自动赶人并统计厕所使用数据。

这款新型Exeloo全自动智能公厕上个月入驻坎贝尔镇莫森公园，是目前最先进的公厕。不过，就别带报纸进去看了 — 因为不管你是否如厕完毕，厕所门都会在10分钟后自动打开。

这三个免冲全自动公厕包括一个专为残疾人配置的马桶和两个标准马桶，代替了原先位于市中心的旧砖砌厕所，耗资超过25万美元。推出一个月以来，这三个新马桶广受好评。

“我向议会要求多安装这款公厕已经好几年了，”议员汤普森说。

“对传统公厕我有许多不满。因为这些公厕都十分简陋，还有人在里面吸毒。”

“智能公厕能减少破坏公物和反社会行为。”议员汤普森说，当达到预设的使用次数后，智能马桶将自动使用消毒剂喷水清

洗，然后在下一个使用者来之前利用高压风机自动烘干。 “如厕全过程它都会同你说

话，如厕时间达到10分钟后，它就会提醒你它准备要开门。”

坎贝尔镇的镇长保罗•雷克说，议会将在今年新增五个智能公厕。

“在所有有条件的地方我们都要换掉老式砖头茅房，装上新型公厕，”雷克说。

“与其重修老式公厕，还不如安装新的更省钱。”

雷克说，除了圣海伦斯公园保护区的公厕由门票补贴，议会将拨款安装新式公厕。

“在这个财政年度里会陆续安装，”他说。“每处会安装一到两个马桶。莫森公园位于市中心，所以装有三个马桶。”
