New Accessible Bathroom Gives ‘Freedom’ For Those with Disabilities

The opening of an accessible bathroom on Auckland’s North Shore will create inclusion for those who normally feel left out. The bathroom and changing room opened earlier this month at Gould Reserve near Takapuna Beach Reserve and Playground.

Facility features include a height-adjustable adult changing table and washbasin, overhead lift, shower, handrails, and toilet with space on either side for two attendants to assist the user. The bathroom can only be accessed by people registered with the Changing Places NZ charity, so those who don’t really need it won’t damage or the new equipment.

Legislation Incentivizing Water Conservation Introduced

Congressman Jerry McNerney and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla introduced the “Water Efficiency, Conservation, and Sustainability Act of 2022,” bicameral legislation to incentivize water-efficiency upgrades and to establish programs to identify and repair leaks, especially in areas experiencing severe drought and in low-income communities.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the installation of water-efficient fixtures and appliances can reduce water use by 20%, and new research has shown that leak-reduction in water systems is the most cost-effective urban water management tool.
