Mumbai: The most expensive city toilet, built by BMC at a cost of Rs 90 Lakh in Marine Drive in 2018, has become dead.
Locals complained that flushes were not functional and regular pedestrians and jogging complaints about the stench that came from the public toilet.
But BMC said that vacuum technology used in public utilities is not functioning properly and they will fix it as soon as possible.
GameServiewant is terrible that the BMC called ‘VIP’ toilet ‘to-10’ in the Promenade Marine Drive, built at a cost near Rs 1 Crore, does not work.
Now BMC must spend more money to make it functional aqain.
Instead of temporary repairs, BMC must find a permanent solution for drainage drainage and sewers choking and ensuring that such failure does not occur and money is not wasted.
Resident Local Bela Shah said: “The toilet has become a smelly hole; we can’t even walk to it Rahul Narwekar from BJP also wrote to the Assistant Commissioner Chanda Jadhav from the environment that complained about “great inconvenience” caused by jogging and pedestrians, especially senior citizens, because of the non-functional toilet.
Jadhav said: “We will check and improve the toilet waste system at the environment level and immediately return in working conditions.
If there is a need to connect with the main sewer then we will coordinate with the Sewerage Operations Department.” According to officials, a sophisticated public toilet does not have waste connection; There is a septic tank below which is cleaned every alternative day through a suction tank.
But because of the use of heavy, the tank runs out of capacity that leads to the smell in the area.
The closest sewer connection is across the street and BMC plans to use Trenchless technology, which costs around Rs 40 Lakh, to connect the toilet to the gutter line so there is no need to dig a sea drive pedestrian.
However, this plan never took off.
Atul Kumar from the Narim-An Point Churchgate Citizens Association said: “BMC should plan a better sewer connection before the toilet is built.
Because of operations, BMC must find a permanent solution for odor.
The toilet also has a very small trace and matches the character of deco art from the office legacy.
