Anhui Rural Mobile Toilet Renovation

The renovation of mobile toilets in rural areas of Anhui takes the 'Toilet Revolution' as its core, promoting the popularization of sanitary toilets through policy support, technical guidance, and financial subsidies, with remarkable results.

I. Renovation Models in Typical Regions

1. Tianchang City: Comprehensive Promotion and Long-term Management
   Tianchang City has taken the rural revitalization strategy as a starting point and completed the renovation of over 76,000 households through a multi-departmental linkage mechanism, focusing on promoting three-chamber septic tank water toilets. For example, after the renovation in Chahe Village, Wanshou Town, the popularity rate of sanitary toilets has increased, and infrastructure such as tap water pipelines and roads has been simultaneously improved. The village's collective economic income increased to 950,000 yuan in 2025. Yeshan Town launched a new round of renovation project bidding in September 2026, requiring construction enterprises to have a Grade III or above qualification for general contracting of construction projects and adopting an open bidding method to ensure project quality.

2. Lingbi County: Technical Standards and Resource Utilization
   Lingbi County promotes harmless toilets such as three-chamber septic tanks and row-type network septic tanks, and supports sewage treatment facilities to solve the problem of direct sewage discharge. Through the 'financial subsidy +' model, the burden on farmers is reduced. For example, Zhang Tingcai, a villager in Xuwei Village, Weiji Town, said that the toilet is sanitary and safe to use at night after the renovation. The county has established a 'one station, two systems' management and maintenance mechanism and implemented the 'double card' household entry action to ensure toilet fixture repair and fecal sludge removal services. In addition, it encourages the use of fecal sludge to develop a 'courtyard economy', such as cultivating wormwood to form an industrial chain.

II. Provincial Policy Support and Subsidy Standards
Anhui Province launched the 'Two Renovations and One Household Entry' project in the second half of 2026 and clarified the award and subsidy policies: Jiangsu Gaoyou provides a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per household for newly built toilets, Anhui Zongyang County plans to complete the task of renovating 3,000 households in 2026, and Hunan Hengdong County provides a subsidy of 867 yuan per seat for three-chamber household toilets. The renovation needs to be evaluated by the village committee, reviewed by the township, and approved by the county level. Construction can only start after obtaining a planning and construction permit to ensure a standardized process.

III. Renovation Results
Villagers generally report a significant improvement in sanitary conditions after the renovation. For example, Wang Zhigang, an 83-year-old villager in Tianchang City, said that 'my children and grandchildren are willing to come back to the countryside for reunions,' and Zhang Dezhi, a villager in Lingbi County, said that 'there are no mosquitoes and flies in summer and no cold in winter.' The toilet renovation has also driven the development of rural industries and environmental beautification. For example, Chahe Village in Wanshou Town has developed camping, homestays, and other agricultural tourism industries, and Huangjia Village in Fengmiao Town has extended the poultry egg industry chain, forming a virtuous cycle of 'Toilet Revolution + Industrial Revitalization.'
