Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: 1 Within 2 MONTHS of the Act, the local authority had to: Carry out a survey of insanitary latrines in its area, and Publish a LIST of all such latrines which were identified during the survey. Step 2 Within 15 days of publishing this list, the authority had to send a notice to the person who had constructed or used the insanitary latrine asking her to either convert it into a sanitary latrine or pull it down. The person has 6 months to do this. If she is not able to do this within 6 months, the local authority can grant an extension for up to 3 months if there are GOOD reasons. Step 3 Another additional DUTY the local authority had to finish within 9 months was to build as many sanitary latrines as it considers necessary in the areas the insanitary latrines have been found. Step 4 The local AUTHORITIES need to build an adequate number of sanitary latrines for the community in their respective areas within 3 years. The local authorities are responsible for the building and maintenance of these community sanitary latrines and must make sure that they are functional and hygienic. |
