Sept. 13, 2025 (Lakeside) -- Good news for anyone who uses San Vicente Reservoir to fish, swim or boat — the 1,600-acre reservoir has a new floating bathroom.
The previous floating john is past its expiration date, so a timely grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation is funding the project. Compared to other public bathroom adventures in San Diego’s history, this is a relative bargain at $225,197.50.
The San Diego City Council’s Environment Committee was to review the grant offer at its meeting Thursday, and if it agreed to the deal, the proposal will then head to a council vote and the mayor’s sign-off.
That’s the hope, as the new floating WC is already sitting dockside.
