The first three of Montreal’s self-cleaning public toilets are expected to make their official debut in May, officials for the downtown borough of Ville-Marie confirmed on Tuesday.

Costing $300,000 each, the city is planning to install a dozen of the installations during the next two to three years. They will be the first free-standing public toilets seen in Montreal in nearly 50 years, outside of city parks and chalets.
