A few days ago, the Foshan Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Administration published on the Internet the "Foshan Urban Appearance Regulations" (Draft for Comment). It is stipulated that there should be no flies in Class I and Class II public toilets, and that flies in Class III public toilets should be less than or equal to 1 per square meter. In Guangdong Province, reporters have yet to find that other cities have introduced this provision. When this rule was issued, it immediately caused heated discussions in the area. On July 3, Zhu Hongli, director of the Foshan Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau Office, said in an interview with the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that “no fly” is a strict requirement for himself and will be piloted first in the central city area; the number of flies is crucial. Looking at the intensity of governance investment, investing more, the environment is good, and naturally there will be no flies.

Document regulations

Public toilet scores low, forced to catch the fly

On June 27th, the Foshan Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Administration published on its website the “Measures for the Management of Urban Public Toilets in Foshan City (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)”, which set out very detailed regulations for the management, operation and assessment of public toilets. . In fact, this management approach has its own reasons. The reporter learned yesterday that Foshan city’s urban civilization index assessment report in March 2011 showed that Foshan scored 70.83 points, and public toilets were the only item that scored negative points.

In this "Measures", it is stipulated that new public toilets should meet or exceed the design standards of Class II public toilets. For those that have been completed but do not meet the standards of the three types of public toilets, the property owners must reform the public toilets in accordance with the standards for Class II or above public toilets.

Among them, provisions have also been made for the maintenance and cleaning standards of public toilets. Sanitary cleaning standards are: no flies, no worms, no water on the ground, pickle stains, or cigarette butts, paper scraps, etc.; toilet flushes in time without dirt, debris, etc.; air circulation, basically no odor; regular sanitation and disinfection. Public toilets also need to set up “oversight and supervision departments and telephones in the obvious position”.

The Measures require Foshan to have 9 categories of non-paper, cigarette butts, feces, stains, odors, flies and other types of public toilets. The flies in the three types of toilets should be less than or equal to 1 per square meter. Only the reporter learned that the area of ​​Foshan's three types of toilets is between 4 and 6 square meters, which means that Foshan's three types of toilets allow more than six flies.

Public toilets reflect

The regulations are too harsh and only spray pesticides

The Yangcheng Evening News reporter conducted an on-site investigation of the public toilets in Foshan two days later and found that it is difficult to implement this provision, especially in areas with a lot of people. Dirty things are still common.

On July 3, several public toilets near Nanpu Park in Chancheng District, the reporter found that it was clean, but it was not without problems. Public toilets next to the Tongji Market have some waste paper on the ground; while the public toilets on the Jinyin North Road have a certain amount of water on the ground and there are no barrier facilities. The "Administrative Measures" stipulates that "oversight supervision departments and telephones shall be set up for the management of responsibility labels in obvious places", but the reporter has visited several public toilets and has yet to see the management responsibility card. In these public toilets, reporters saw flies from time to time.

In the public toilet next to Nanpu Park, the Captain Chen of the sanitation team just cleaned here. He told reporters that according to regulations, no sundries are allowed within 5 meters of the public toilet. Regarding the accumulation of stagnant water on the toilet floor, he explained that the general public toilets still need to be dry with a mop after flushing, but many cleaners did not do so, resulting in water accumulation. Because the new regulations have just been introduced, the management responsibility card is being used, so it is not yet in place.

Captain Chen said that after the introduction of the new regulations, the management of public toilets has become more stringent. They can only arrange cleaner shifts more closely. One toilet has to be cleaned about 12 times a day. He manages nearly 100 employees and each employee is responsible for 3 to 4 public toilets, and each public toilet in the key areas is staffed.

For some of the new provisions of the regulations, Captain Chen also has some views, "some areas are too harsh, such as the ground is not allowed to have debris, we have just finished cleaning, if a citizen throws a piece of paper, it is also considered miscellaneous. Park The garbage is not handled properly, and it is inevitable that there will be flies, not only the problem of toilet hygiene, but it requires no flies, and we have no good way to spray more pesticides.” Apart from spraying pesticides, keeping toilets clean , Captain Chen confessed that there is no better way to prevent flies.

Citizens' repercussions

It's better to spend more time with blank fly

Earlier, many cities have introduced similar policies that no more than a few flies in public toilets, and the measures introduced by Foshan even more stringent than Beijing, Nanjing and other cities. This has caused a lot of heated debate among the citizens.

Mr. Zhang, who lives in Chancheng, appears disapproved of such a rule. He told reporters that it is a question of who will supervise the assessment. "Does the three types of toilet flies have no more than six flies? Does the government have to hire people to count them? If no one comes, what is the effect of such quantification?" Chen Bo often goes to the public toilets in the Puke market, which are not in very good condition. The number of regulations, he also thinks is not necessary. "I think when people are anxious about going to the toilet, who cares about the flies? The government really needs to build more public toilets and have someone to clean it. It's fine to not smell bad."

On the Internet, there are also many netizens who have ridiculed Foshan's "public toilets flies." "Why Beijing has public toilets that allow flies. Can we not have one? People or the capital." Netizen "zcwlhzjj" said: "Who does go to public toilets flies? What is the significance of this mandatory requirement? "Netizens revisited the past," saying that this kind of stipulation seems to be meticulous. It is actually not operational and is a form of formalism.

On July 3, Zhu Hongli, director of the Foshan Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau Office, said in an interview with a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News that the number of flies depends on the amount of investment and investment, the environment is good, and flies are naturally less. Regarding the question of controlling the number of flies in public toilets, Gu Honglie said that the "measures" stipulate more stringent requirements, and no fly is the ultimate goal. He said that Foshan will first test this requirement in the downtown area and gradually implement it in other places.
