Given that the toilet was designed to address these issues, yes the maintenance and security costs need to be included. That is why they bought the self-cleaning armored toilets to begin with, to cut down on these costs. These toilets have mechanical machines that self-steam the interiors, the seat tilts up and self-cleans, the floors and walls are made of steel to resist vandalism and there are all sorts of sensors in place to automate the toilet. So to the degree that this equipment breaks down or fails to deliver on the self-cleaning promise, those costs should be included in the total cost of the toilet, no?
