Content - Summary
eThekwini Municipality (EM) is one of the leading municipalities in South Africa with regard to the provision of basic sanitation services. The Municipality has selected a hybrid source-separating alternating twin pit ventilated pit toilets, also referred to as urine diversion toilets, as the preferred delivery mechanism for certain communities in their area of responsibility. Urine diversion VIP/VDVIP is the terminology used for the eThekwini implementation throughout this report. The first units were installed in communities outside the urban centre, built according to a constantly improving design that was initially based on a number of guiding principles identified by eThekwini Municipality.
