The toilets will be designed for people with limited mobility

As they explained to Realnoe Vremya in the press service of the city hall, the construction of the toilet module became possible thanks to the holding of the BRICS summit in Kazan. By the time of such a high-level event, not only new restrooms will appear in the capital of the republic, but the old ones will be partially modernised.

“All toilet modules, including those under the Kremlin Dam, will include a toilet for people with limited mobility, designed also for mothers with children (it will be equipped with a changing table). It is planned to place two sinks and hand dryers in the men's and women's sections. There are three closed cubicles in the women's department, two stalls and a urinal in the men's department. There are technical rooms in each section. The configuration and design of each individual module will be adapted depending on the location. In general, it is planned to adhere to minimalism using practical materials, the city administration reported.

They added that 48 toilet modules have been installed in the city to date.

Almost 70 million rubles have been allocated for the maintenance of toilets in Kazan

In total, the list includes 52 stationary and modular restrooms located in parks and squares of the city. The project documentation indicates the necessary work to maintain the cleanliness of toilets: cleaning toilets, urinals, and sinks.
