Community Toilets play an important role inmeeting the sanitation needs of densely populatedlow income settlements in the urban areas. In': India Community Toilets have, in the past, beenprovided by the Municipalities and Corporations aswell as by Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs).The success of these efforts, judged on the basisof sustained and proper use has been a mixed onefor various reasons. At present there has been nocomprehensive guidelines on the issues to beaddressed at the preparation stage in order toenhance the chances of proper and sustained use ofthese facilities. I hope that the guidelinesprepared by the Regional Water and SanitationGroup-South Asia (RWSG-SA) of the UNDP/World BankWater and Sanitation Programme will go a long wayin meeting this need.

I also hope that the Municipal Authoritieswill find the Guidelines useful. I would however,urge upon them to let RWSG-SA have theirsuggestions and comments so that the Guidelines canbe further revised based on the feed-back from thefield.

Annex 7

THE DESIGN OF AMODEL SEPTIC TANK

The septic tank should be designed as per the criteria laid down in the Manual on Sanitationby CPHEEO, Government of India. These design criteria are

(i) Considering the volume required for sludge and scum accumulation, the septic tankshould have 1 - 2 days of wastewater retention.

(ii) The accumulated sludge and scum should occupy only half or maximum two-thirds of thetank capacity at the end of the design storage period.

(iii) For users over 100, two septic tanks, each designed for half, of the total calculated capacityshould be constructed in tandem. This arrangement permits the flow to be passedthrough one unit, while the other is being de-sludged.

Example

The community toilet has 11 toilet seats, with one seat for children, and 3 urinals. The numberof users is 550. Two septic tanks, each for 275 users are to be designed.

Wastewater including urine and water used for anal cleansing, flushing and latrine floorwashing entering the septic tank is assumed as 8 liters per user.

Total wastewater entering the septic tank = 8 x 275 liters per day= 2200 liters per day

Capacity, of the septic tank assuming 2 days = 2 x 2200 literswastewater retention period = 4400 liters or 4.4 m3

Volume of the sludge storage (assuming sludgecleaning interval as one year and sludge = 0.00021 x 275 x 365 m3

accumulation rate as 0.00021 m3 per capita per day) = 21.08 m3

Volume of the scum (taking the depth of scum = 10 x 3 x 0.225 m3

as 225 mm and size of the septic tank as 10 M x 3 M) = 6.75 m3

Total volume of the sludge and the scum = (21.08+6.75) m L = 27.83 m3

or, say, 28 m3

Capacity of the septic tank (Assumingaccumulation of the sludge and scum 28 x 3/2 m3

as two-thirds of the total septic tank capacity) = 42 m3

Taking the depth of the septic tank below its top liquid level as 1.4m, size of the tank worksout to be 10mx3m. After providing free board of 30 cm, total depth of the septic tank shouldbe 1.7 m.

Annex 8

DESIGN OF SOAKAGE PITS

[Based on Indian Standard - Code of Practice for Installati( n of Septic Tanks;Part 2: Secondary Treatment & Disposal of Septic Tank E fluent - IS 2470(Part 2) - 1985.]

Discharge from a community toilet = 550 x 8for 550 users @ 8 liters/user =4400 liters

Taking the rate of effluent application andpercolation rate of the soil where soakagepits are to be located as 521/m 2 /day = 4400 . 52

and 15 minutes, surface area = 84.62 ml(effective side wall area) required(effective depth being measured from 150 mmbelow 3300mm invert level of inlet pipeto bottom of the pit)

Taking the internal diameter of the pit,I,~ as 2.5 m, depth as 2.2m, lining thickness

as 225 mm and thickness of coarse aggregate = 7T x 3.10 x 2.2filling all-round the lining as 75mm, = 21.43 m-effective surface area of the pits

The number of soakage pits needed comes to 4. 84.62ml - 21.43ml=4

.1 ~~~~~~~If the inlet pipe to soakage pit is 40 cm below ground level, total depth of t.he pitcomes to 2.2+0.40± 0.15 =2.75m below the ground.
