What preferential policies did farmers get from the big reform of rural toilets?

In order to implement the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Special Action of Rural Toilet Revolution" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), the central government invested 7 billion yuan in financial awards for promoting rural toilet revolution from 2065438 to 2009. According to the Opinions, by 2020, the harmless transformation of rural household toilets will be basically completed, and the penetration rate of sanitary toilets will reach about 85%. It was a good thing to improve the toilets in rural areas, but from the current actual situation, new toilets in some areas have not been used yet. Why have rural toilets become furnishings? Do you think farmers say these reasons are reasonable?

1, manure should be pumped frequently, and farmers say they can't afford it.

Different from the old-fashioned aqua privies, the old-fashioned aqua privies do not need to be flushed with water, and the cesspits are cleaned only once a year, so farmers can do it themselves.

New toilets need to be flushed with water, but there are no sewers in many rural areas. Feces can only be flushed into a septic tank made of rubber and plastic. The capacity of this septic tank is too small. Because it is washed every day, the septic tank buried underground will be full in two or three months, so I can't handle it myself, so I can only find someone to pump it. The cost of a waste pump in 50 yuan is as high as 100 yuan in some places. In crowded families, septic tanks need to be treated more frequently, and some need to be pumped once a month. In this way, the cost of pumping dung a year, plus the cost of running water, ranges from 600 to 700 yuan. As a result, farmers have said that they really can't afford it.

It's inconvenient to use, but you can't use it if you want.

In 20 19, the central government invested 7 billion yuan for the "toilet revolution" in rural areas. The central government has made great determination and made great efforts to improve toilets in rural areas. However, the reporter's investigation found that the situation was surprising: in some areas where toilet improvement was completed, more than 10 households were randomly selected, but none of them used new toilets. Besides the problem that we can't afford it, there is also the problem that we can use it.

For example, water pipes will freeze in winter and cannot be used. In cold weather, especially in the north, the toilet pipes will freeze and there will be no water flushing. Or boil hot water before going to the toilet and then flush it with hot water.

For example, some farmers' new toilets are not up to standard. For example, in rural areas of Gansu, many new toilets in villagers' homes have had many problems shortly after they were built. Some villagers said that the quality of septic tanks buried underground was very poor. Once buried, they were squeezed and deformed by the soil and could not be used. In Linshu County, Shandong Province, the cement frame septic tanks in villagers' homes also collapsed and were damaged. Due to the quality of equipment and environmental factors, the villagers could not adapt, and finally switched back to using dry toilets.

For example, some villagers reported that the new toilets were not connected with running water. The so-called "flushing" means putting a big bucket next to it and flushing it yourself after going to the toilet. Every time you go to the toilet, you have to flush it with a water scoop. It is difficult to flush the stool, and it feels very troublesome. Some villagers also reported that the pressure of the water flushing pressure device was too small, water rushed into a display, and the urinal was easily blocked, so they had to poke it with a stick.

To sum up, there are still many problems to be solved to make good use of new toilets in rural areas. The problem of flushing water for new toilets is an important factor affecting the utilization rate of new toilets, and it is also the first problem to be solved. Because the problem of underwater flushing has not been solved, many rural people rarely use or even use toilets indoors, and toilets have become furnishings. Although the country has also considered these aspects, such as requiring rural areas to use water-saving equipment when rebuilding toilets, septic tanks are easy to overflow due to excessive flushing water, which affects their use, but some places have not implemented them as required.
