Make your own Street Sink!
The Seattle Street Sink is made from a $30 utility sink fitted with a soap dispenser and a metering (auto shut–off) faucet connected to a nearby hose-bib with a garden house. The sink is bolted to a stock agricultural feed tank filled with soil and water loving plants, which acts as a rain garden to treat the grey water before being released. This also prevents the sink from being stolen.
A “wheelchair friendly” version is also available that is nearly ADA compliant. It is made from a galvanized pipe stanchion bolted to the rain garden tank with a modified baking pan serving as a washbasin.
If you make a sink, be sure to send us a note with a picture!
