However, the request for multi-storey car parks could not be granted because there is no contract in place with the company.
Proposal for smart toilets in car parks
Public Utilities Management Company chief executive officer, Eng. Saleh Al-Othman, has also written a letter to the head of the Municipal Council proposing to license smart toilets within multi-storey and surface car parks.
In his letter, Al-Othman states that the company is committed to supporting the state’s efforts in organising the region to achieve Kuwait’s future vision.
He also mentions the company’s desire to develop the services it provides to the public and visitors to the car parks it manages and operates.
The proposed self-service smart toilet service would have a nominal fee and would be constructed, equipped, and periodically maintained and cleaned according to modern international standards.
