More than 100 public lavatories in the area have been shuttered by the city due to a lack of access to water and electricity [Photo: dahe.cn] More than 100 public lavatories in Zhengzhou, central China's Henan province, have been shuttered by the city due to a lack of access to water and electricity, according to news website dahe.cn. Staff at the local environment and sanitation department said the public toilets, most of them newly built, are along the area's "greenbelt," which lacks electricity and plumbing. This makes it difficult to supply water and electricity to the toilets. Since the public toilets are no longer available, the greenbelt has become the place for many people to relieve the call of nature in public. The municipal environment and sanitation department promised to discuss with related departments and release the solution one week later. Related News
