Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation has installed four sensor-based pay- and -use toilets in the busy Gandhipuram and Racecourse areas, which would be thrown open to public utility soon.
Set up at a total outlay of Rs.24 lakhs, these state -of- the -art toilets for both sexes would have many new features including stainless steel enclosures and sensor- based flushing mechanism after each use.
The sensors would let in the user only when there is water in the tank and the user has to feed the coin before using the toilet. "The Corporation is yet to decide on the rates for the pay and use toilets. But it would be nominal" said a Corporation official.
“The toilets which are attached to 25-liter tanks is installed at the cost of Rs.6 lakhs each. The pay and use toilets would come into use as the civic body is giving final touches to the pilot project. The toilets would be operated by 600-watt motors for its operations.” Corporation officials said.
