Regency to build public lavatories

TANGERANG: The Tangerang regental administration plans to
develop sanitation projects that will include 40 public
lavatories and 200 clean water facilities, in northern parts of
the region hit by the recent outbreaks of diarrheal diseases.

The facilities worth Rp 5 billion (US$515,500) would be built
in several districts, including Sepatan, Mauk and Pakuhaji and
Sukadiri.

"The money comes from the Banten provincial budget," said
Tangerang regent Ismet Iskandar on Friday, adding that building
would start next Monday in the areas affected by the recent
outbreak.

The disease outbreaks killed 17 people and affected thousands
of others and was caused by poor sanitation in those areas.
