Automated Public Toilets have set a benchmark in service and maintenance management. As changes in urban architecture manifest, better sanitation invariably becomes the need of the hour especially for the women to participate in the public sphere. Ahmedabad has made a commendable beginning in this space through the establishment of Automated Public Toilets that exemplify its commitment to instituting standard hygiene and cleanliness measures through the leveraging of cutting-edge technology.
Amenities include the opening of the door on the dropping of a coin (Re 1, Rs 2, Rs 5, and Rs 10) or through a Button Push mechanism and automatic functioning of lights upon the user’s entry. Pre-flush ensures before the users entry whereas the post-flush mechanism ensures cleanliness after using the toilet. This feature not only reduces the chances of water-borne diseases but also instills a behavioural change towards cleanliness and hygiene.
