We have received a gift of funds from a Salvation Army men's group in Victoria (Canada) to provide composting toilets for a new Salvation Army girls' secondary school. The contractor visited the sitethis past week and construction will begin next week after delivery of the materials.
The Eco San toilets will last many years if well maintained, and the by products can be used for agriculture. Pit latrines cost almost as much to install and must be replaced (pulled down & re-dug) after two to three years.
In addition the water table will not risk pollution and there is no unpleasant odour or insect infestation. Many other sites are interested, especially those on rocky ground where they cannot dig.
I seem to be having some difficulty posting a picture, so will try later
