CITY SANITATION PLAN BAREILLY
The analysis shows that there is relatively high percentage use of public toilets by the workers in the
commercial places and market areas. And there is relatively low percentage of open defecation in
these areas which is very unhygienic and unhealthy sign. The usage of complex toilets is only about
20% of the workers population. Further to this, there are also concerns about the sludge
management in case of provision of toilets at commercial places and market places. The following
graph shows the percentage share of number of toilets (available) at commercial places according to
the type of sludge management.
The majority of toilet facilities those are available at the commercial shops i.e. about 70% of them
have septic tanks for their sludge management. The sludge that is accumulated in these tanks is
cleared once in every year by the municipality or private vehicle and the waste is disposed off. But
the disposal of the sludge is also not proper. The sludge that is collected from the septic tanks is
thrown off into open nallas. Further to this, there also few toilets connected to sewer lines and few
directly let into open drains. Hence, there is an urgent need to proper provision of toilets and proper
disposal system in these commercial areas and market places. In addition to the waste generation
from different commercial shops, the sanitation provision is also creating problems at alarming rate.
Further to this, it is also important to understand the willingness to have pay and use toilets (in case
of any further proposals for provision of toilets) in the premises of commercial shops. The following
graph illustrates the percentage share of shopkeepers and workers willingness to pay and use the
toilets.
