CONWAY — Selectmen are mulling whether they should shut down Whitaker Homesite building bathrooms or leave the building open for skiers. As of now, there aren’t many options for those who need to go in North Conway.
Bathrooms have become a bigger issue in town since the COVID-19 pandemic swept through the valley around March because the cleaning requirements have shut down facilities that would otherwise be open in North Conway Village such as the bathrooms at the New England Ski Museum.

Is there a reason portable toilets can't be used?......there must be some chemical that'll keep them from freezing up. I don't know that much about it but in Intervale, I believe the outside toilets are up during the winter months. All I know is that if a person really has to go to the bathroom, they're gonna go.........regardless!
