I always relate such problems with what my late dad would do. When we were kids in Australia (warm climate) we spent summers camping at the beach. At the camping ground on the edge of the sand hills there was just one town water tap. Every year that we went there, dad would set up a 'T' coupling which added one or more extra taps. To the top tap he added a hose and a shower rose attached to a water pipe post. All of these items he gleaned from our local tip. All of the campers were able to shower in comfort while others were still able to get water from the other tap. In later holidays he added a rubble drain, a frame with potato sacking curtains and hooks for clothes. The 'curtains' reached down to the knees but left a view of the feet so that you could see if the shower was occupied. Most of this was missing when we came back next year, but dad being dad went to the tip and replaced it all. I am sure that the local council would not allow this but how nice if the destitute could regain the dignity of cleanliness while picking up some food. How nice if some used clean clothes could be hung in a private but public space for those who needed clean clothes after their shower! There I go dreaming again!!
