COMMUNITY TOILETS:
Most slums in the city do not have proper toilet facilities, as a result of which
forced to defecate in the open. Owing to the shortage of toilets, slum dwellers face
a lot of problems and they are forced to live in unhygienic environment. This
situation not only pollutes the environment of the slums but also poses health
hazards.
The space around the existing unused and age old toilet blocks often becomes
heavily used for open defecation which in turn produces a very large health burden
and contributes to high infant and child death rates.
Poor People who are not having a place for construction of the individual toilets
in slum areas and having no capacity are benefited with hygienic facilities and
feels like the individual household toilets
In order to solve the problem to a great extent, to improve the sanitation
conditions in the Town, the Kurnool Corporation decided to construct 53
Community Toilets from its own funds. The scheme aims to improve the sanitation
condition of the slums. An amount of Rs.10.00 Crores has been earmarked for this
purpose.
The Corporation has taken a decision in the year 2012 for improving the
Community Toilets as modernized toilets and giving the facilitations to the public
and controlling of the Open Defecations and given to good services to the poor
slum peoples. In this connection the Corporation has proposed the 53 Community
Toilets for construction of modernization of toilets in poor slum areas. At present
the Corporation has completed 33 Modernized Community Public Toilets in
Kurnool Municipal Corporation area limits.
The Corporation has taken another decision for maintenance of the modernized
Community Toilets. The Corporation has giving contract work to the M/s. Sulabh
International Organization Society, A.P., Hyderabad towards the maintenance of
Modernized Community Toilets and also providing the good sanitary amenities to
the poor slum people.
12 Nos of Modernized Community Toilets have been entrusted to the pervious
Safai Karmacharies families for the maintenance of toilets and also providing the
employment to the previous Safai Karmacharies families.

PAY AND USE SULABH TOILETS IN FLOATING AREAS ON PPP MODE:
•
In addition to the above, there are Pay and Use Sulabh Toilets recently
constructed in the following areas where heavy floating of the public is
available:
•
1. Kids World Junction
•
2. King Market Junction
•
3. Near Collectorate
BIO-TOILETS:
In a conventional Toilet the night soil is disposed off into sewage system where
it is available or into a septic tank where there is no sewage system.
In a Bio Toilet the Night Soil (Human Waste) is let off into a Tank called Bio
Digester.
Bio Digester tank contains a combination of anaerobic bacteria. A formation
developed by DRDO (Defense Research Development Organization). Night Soil
Degradation occurs through microbial reaction which converts it into Bio Gas. The
smell of night soil, the disease causing organisms in the night soil and the solid
matter are eliminated totally. On dry weight basis 90% of the solid waste is
reduced.
The anaerobic process in- activates the pathogens responsible for water borne
diseases. Bio digester serves as reaction vessel for bio methanation and provides
the anaerobic conditions and required temp for the bacteria. The optimum temp is
maintained by microbial heat, insulation of the reactor. Disposes human waste in a
100 % ECO friendly manner.
Generates color less, odor less inflammable bio gas (can be used for cooking
heating) and absolutely clear odor less water. Water is full of nutrients and
minerals and is good for irrigation purpose of nearby gardens, lawns etc. does not
require any septic Tank, Sewage Tank connectivity.
Inoculums (combination of Anaerobic bacteria) charging is only once during the
entire life of Bio Toilet. No need of connectivity to the sewage line, septic tank. No
disposal of sludge is required. Routine cleaning chemicals like phenyl, soap,
Kerosene etc. do not harm Bio Toilet or the inoculums.

The Societies will deploy 8 unemployed youth registered with their societies
and they will be permitted to collect the user charges @ Rs. 4/- per user for using
