A recent article in the USGA Green Section Record discusses the rising use of composting toilets as on-course restrooms.
Clivus Multrum has a range of Models available for golf course restrooms. Our M54 Series is available in one or two stall units that can be custom finished and delivered pre-fabricated or as a kit. Our Foam-flush toilet provides the comfort of a conventional restroom while using only 6 ounces per visit.

In December 2010 Clivus Multrum pre-fabricated 6 M54 Trailhead buildings for an order from Lee’s Ferry a National Park which is adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park. Those systems shipped earlier this year. Here are a few pictures of the build process and of loading them onto the truck.
The Trailheads have since arrived in Lee’s Ferry and are likely to be installed within the month! In order to get the systems to their locations park staff will deliver them on rafts that travel down the Colorado River.

It looks like lots of folks are interested in water issues lately.
Yesterday three articles concerning water issues crossed our screens that were worth sharing.
