To build a livable village, good things must be done well (the big inspector is in action)

  The rural toilet revolution involves thousands of households and is an important part of the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

Since the launch of the three-year action to improve the rural human settlements environment in 2018, various regions have adapted measures to local conditions, overcome difficulties, and promoted positive progress in the rural toilet revolution.

At the same time, in many places, rural toilets have a poor foundation, a weak foundation, and many debts. There are still many shortcomings that need to be made up urgently.

People in Pingshan County, Hebei Province reported to the third inspection team of the Eighth Great Inspection of the State Council that there were some problems in the process of promoting the renovation of rural toilets.

  "Is your toilet available now?" On September 4, the inspection team discovered during an unannounced visit to Jiaqingtan Village, Dongwangpo Township, Pingshan County, that after the old toilets in some villagers’ homes were demolished, the new toilets were not built in time. bring inconvenience.

Some villagers have to share a toilet for several families, and some villagers have to travel a lot to find a public toilet.

  Relevant accounts provided by the local Agriculture and Rural Bureau show that there is a situation in the county that "demolition of old toilets is fast, and construction of new ones is slow".

The inspection team believes that the main reason is that the local government is blindly seeking speed in the promotion of toilet reform, ignoring the fact that Jiaqingtan Village and other villages are located in hilly and mountainous areas, and the lack of consideration of local conditions in the transformation mode and requirements has caused the subsequent construction progress to be unable to keep up. .

  The construction of livable villages is inseparable from these livelihood projects around the villagers.

This year, the No. 1 document of the Central Committee proposed to vigorously implement rural construction activities.

The actions involved the implementation of the rural water supply guarantee project and the promotion of the rural toilet revolution in an orderly manner.

  "Obviously, a centralized water supply point has been built, but the draft has to go to a water source well 2 kilometers away." What is the reason?

The fourth inspection team came to Zhaoxian Town, Linxian County, Shanxi Province, and made unannounced visits to the local centralized water supply points.

The inspection found that in some villages, water supply points were completed every 3 days, and multiple equipment did not operate for a long time; in some villages, the water supply pipelines were damaged, not maintained and updated in time, and local water supply was not smooth.

Centralized water supply points did not play an effective role, causing inconvenience to people's drinking water and restricting the development of local planting and breeding industries.

  The supervision team pointed out on the spot that the local management and maintenance of the operation of the centralized water supply point were not managed properly and dynamic monitoring was not timely.

It is suggested that on the one hand, we should coordinate and integrate various funds, increase rural water supply channels, and consolidate and improve rural drinking water conditions; on the other hand, we should establish and improve a long-term management and protection mechanism for rural drinking water safety and a risk monitoring mechanism to promote professional management of rural water supply guarantee projects .

  In the past few days, the inspection team visited the village and followed the clues to fix the problem.

In response to the problems pointed out by the inspection team, Pingshan County immediately initiated rectification, scientifically arranged the construction period, and organized the construction to ensure that all the projects were completed with high quality by the end of September.

For possible problems such as difficulty in going to the toilet, check and verify it from village to household and include it in the rectification list to ensure that the changes are made one by one, and to promote the real effect of rural toilet renovation.

  In response to the lack of management and protection of drinking water projects after the completion of the drinking water project, Zhaoxian Town of Linxian County formulated a specific rectification plan and incorporated the project rectification into this year’s water supply guarantee plan. According to the actual topography, it adopted “tap water + centralized water supply + original water source wells scattered "Water supply" is a combined water supply method, and from water sources, pipelines, water points, and tap water to households, full-time management personnel are specified by area to ensure all-weather water supply in various forms.
