The room is too small-is it okay to use the bathroom to enlarge the room area? urgent

Women's toilets become bedrooms and men's toilets become kitchens.

Our reporter Cai Zhijun Zhu Jin Peng Sen

According to the reporter's understanding from the Urban Management Office of Buji Town, within the scope of Buji Town, there are 8 public toilets built on the Buji River. The original intention of building public toilets is to facilitate the public, but has the public toilets built by the river become another pollution source? In order to find out the specific situation of the public toilets along the Buji River, four reporters of our newspaper conducted a field investigation on this issue yesterday, and the results were quite intriguing.

Gankeng intersection: It seems that the toilet was jumped in.

The public toilet located at the intersection of Gankeng and Hongsheng Sanniao Market is just built on the bank of the tributary of Buji River. From the front, the ladies' room is on the left, the men's room is on the right, and the administrator's lounge is in the middle. The reporter originally came to investigate the whereabouts of sewage, but he was shocked by what he saw as soon as he arrived at this toilet. If it weren't for the big "public toilet" on the roof and the words "every time 1 yuan" on the window of the administrator's room, I'm afraid it would be difficult to connect this with the public toilet. Because the manager of the public toilet has moved all his things in: there is a bed in the corner of the women's toilet on the left, and a bicycle is parked at the door; There are gas tanks, stoves and stoves in the men's toilet; There is also a bed in the administrator's room ... There are only four "squatting positions" left in the whole public toilet for people to use.

According to the administrator, the city management office originally asked him to manage this public toilet, but few people come here to "go to the toilet", and the most time in a day is 10. He has no other income except looking at the toilet, and his wife is seriously ill, so he has to move the whole family here, live in the toilet and grow vegetables next to him. He also showed reporters the septic tank next to the toilet: it consists of three parts, and the outlet pipe leads from one side to the river, but the pipeline is obviously dry. "There are too few people coming, and the tertiary septic tank is not full at all, so there is no water flowing out here!" The administrator said.

Since there is no water flowing out of the septic tank, it is impossible to talk about whether it pollutes the river. But since this public toilet is "idle" and can be converted into a bedroom and kitchen, why did you choose to build it in this location? The reporter asked the administrator about this, but he couldn't tell the reason at all. He only said that this place was built by the city management office at the request of nearby residents, and it also has a third-class septic tank, which will not pollute the Buji River.

Bu Lu Li: The septic tanks of two public toilets were all sick along the way.

Along the tributary of Buji Hutang Road, when we arrived at the entrance of Yuantou Village, Song Lu City, Li Lang, another public toilet appeared in front of us. Unique, there is a small car wash beside the public toilet, and the operator is the administrator of the public toilet.

Under his guidance, the reporter quickly found four manhole covers hidden in the bushes. A sanitation expert invited by the reporter said: Three of the four manhole covers cover septic tanks and one covers the inspection port. The water in the septic tank flows directly into the river more than ten meters away from the public toilet after passing through an underground pipeline. Under the guidance of sanitation experts, the reporter observed the drainage ditch at the bottom of the river bank, surrounded by a lot of black and tan dirt. According to experts, this is incomplete feces. According to his analysis, although this public toilet has a three-level septic tank, the septic tank has not played a good role, so there will be piles of dirt in the sewer and flow into the river.

According to the administrator, this public toilet was built by Buji City Management Office in 2002. It's near the railway. In the past, people used to pee in bushes and grass. With public toilets, hygiene has been greatly improved. But not many people come here to use public toilets, with an average of 10 to 15 people every day. Septic tanks are rarely full, so there is not much water flowing out.

There is also a public toilet under the sunny garden. From the specification, this public toilet is exactly the same as the previous two public toilets. However, the reporter tried his best to find the corresponding three-stage septic tank device, and only found a manhole cover in the haystack on one side. Sanitation experts have seen a lot on the spot, saying that the other two manhole covers may be buried under the garbage dump. The female administrator here can't explain why, but keeps saying that "our feces never flow into the river!" " "

In front of this public toilet is a fast-flowing ditch, and the water in the ditch flows directly into the tributary of the pond path. The reporter walked 20 meters along the ditch and still couldn't find the drain of the toilet. Has the water in the toilet turned into fertilizer for a vegetable field? However, the utilization rate of this public toilet is not high, and the administrator said that at most a dozen people come to "go to the toilet" a day. It's just that the septic tank in this toilet is so strange that I can't find it anywhere. Where is the water in the toilet?

Sewage from septic tanks is discharged into the river.

Dapotou Village: Private public toilets are changed into shops on both sides.

The public toilet located at the entrance of Dapotou Village is known to be one of the earliest public toilets in Buji Town and the only one built by private investment.

Huang, the operator of the public toilet, said that the construction of the public toilet was mainly based on the needs of the floating population in this area, but the government did not have enough capital investment, so it created a new model, which was funded by him and operated by himself to recover the cost and obtain a certain profit. Approved by the land and urban management departments, public toilets were officially opened to the public on September 1 0999. The total cost is more than 200,000 yuan, which is called "luxury" from appearance to internal facilities.

Hwang intended to make money by running toilets, but things were not as simple as expected. Huang said that the current charging standard is 50 cents per person. Usually there are only 30 passengers every day, and there are no more than 80 passengers on holidays. Is it 8 years for Huang to sign a self-operated contract with the urban management department? Surge? It is impossible to recover the cost of eight years. Fortunately, Huang left the "one hand" and changed both sides of the toilet into shops for rent, and finally he could make some money.

The boss showed the reporter the septic tank and hid it under the public toilet near the river. According to him, a septic tank 3 meters square and 2.5 meters deep has been built in the public toilet. There will be a sealed tank truck to extract feces once a month, and it will never be directly discharged into the river. The reporter carefully looked around and did not find the corresponding drain to the river. However, it is obvious that the dung suction car can't be driven in. The boss said that the pipe of the dung suction car is very long and can protrude from the outside.

According to sanitation experts, according to the latest regulations, any public toilet must build a corresponding three-stage septic tank system, otherwise it will be regarded as unqualified, and the current simple facilities may not play any role in sewage treatment.

Public toilets without septic tanks are built by the river.

Bao Yue Qiaotou and Jinyun Road: Two public toilets are closed.

The public toilets in Qiaotou, Bao Yue, which are notorious toilets mentioned by city leaders many times, were blocked at the beginning of the pollution exploration of Buji River in this newspaper, that is, 1 1.4. This is the first public toilet closed in Buji River.

Yesterday morning, the second public toilet on the Buji River was closed. This public toilet is a self-operated public toilet of a storage and transportation company. It was built on Jinyun Road by the Buji River and was once exposed by this newspaper.

When the reporter came here yesterday afternoon, the gate had been sealed with fresh red bricks, and the seal of the law enforcement department was affixed on it. The person in charge of the Buji Urban Management Law Enforcement Team said that the toilet was basically unable to be rectified because it was not built in accordance with the regulations of the third-class septic tank, so it will be permanently closed or converted into a garbage pool.

The appearance of this toilet is very crude and old. It is understood that the contractor of this public toilet has to pay several thousand yuan to the storage and transportation company every year, and only about 30 people come here "conveniently" every day.

The reporter and sanitation experts looked for the septic tank device of this public toilet together, but they couldn't find it again and again. Some citizens pointed out that the sewage pipe of this public toilet is directly connected to the Buji River. The reporter found the back of the toilet near the river, only to see a pile of weeds covered up and no sewage outlet visible. A stench of shit came to the nose, obviously not the smell of river water. Obviously, the excrement of this public toilet is discharged into Buji River in this pile of weeds. Sanitation experts said that such public toilets are no longer worth rebuilding, and should be scrapped and relocated for reconstruction.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter conducted a field survey on six public toilets. As for the other two, according to what the reporter saw a few days ago, there is also a public toilet near Shuijing Village, a tributary of Buji River. The construction and management are basically the same as the two public toilets on Bree Road. As for the eighth public toilet, it is said that it was built in the village, but the reporter failed to find it, and it is estimated that there is no third-class septic tank.

Problem: There are few public toilet doors built by the government.

The reporter learned from the Municipal Office of the Buji Town Management Office yesterday that due to historical reasons, the public toilets on the Buji River are complex in nature. At present, diversified businesses coexist, so there is no unified management, which leads to the lack of implementation of government regulations on the construction of public toilets. For example, the layout of public toilets is not very reasonable.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce, there are 8 public toilets on the Buji River under the jurisdiction of Buji Town, and there are roughly five types of business entities: the one at Qiaotou, Bao Yue was built in the name of the Industrial and Commercial Office, criticized by acting mayor Li Hongzhong, and now it has been closed; The storage and transportation company was built and operated by the company and was seized by law enforcement yesterday; Dapotou public toilets are privately built and operated; The other was built in the village; The other four buildings were built by the Urban Management Office and contracted for operation.

It is understood that the general procedure for building a public toilet on the Buji River is that an application is first made by the land-using unit, then reviewed by the land department, and then decided by the urban management office, the construction office and other departments through consultation. Before 2000, all the public toilets built were numbered, and then they disappeared, even without filing at all.

Regarding the problem of sewage discharge, the person in charge said that the public toilets built by the urban management department after 1997 were all designed according to the standards of tertiary septic tanks, so the sewage discharge was up to standard; Septic tanks in new residential areas after 2000 are all designed according to the standards formulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, and there should be no problem in sewage discharge for five years. There is a problem with the toilet, which has been criticized by the mayor and has been rectified within a time limit, and a plan has been put forward, otherwise it will be closed; The storage and transportation company and the urban management department have decided to close down.

The reporter found yesterday that the four public toilets built by the government are generally "empty", and few people go to the toilet all day long, which seems to be far from the original intention of facilitating the people. Since they can't play much convenience, are these public toilets still necessary? What's more, public toilets are built along the river, and sewage is discharged into the river, which has become a major pollution source of Buji River. It is said that these public toilets were built to declare the needs of sanitary towns, but today, they have not played much role. Keep running, and you can't afford it. Turn it off and let the original investment go to waste. It seems that how to dispose of the public toilets on the Buji River is really a difficult problem.

It is reported that the urban management department of Buji Town will organize relevant personnel to conduct a general survey of the current situation of public toilets on Buji River in the near future to help grasp the situation and formulate targeted rectification measures.

Because there is no tertiary septic tank, the toilet is sealed.

No one went to the public toilet for a long time, and it has evolved into a kitchen. This photo was taken by Ding Kai.
