The toilet complex and kitchen are being managed by the sanitation non-governmental organisation (NGO) Gramalaya, through its WAVE federation of self-help groups. “Another bio-digester plant has been proposed at the Woraiyur market that will be attached to a community kitchen,” Corporation Commissioner N. Ravichandran told The Hindu. In the Viragupettai project, the bio-methanisation plant needs 500-600 kg of bio-degradable waste. The waste form the toilets and vegetable waste are fed directly into the reactor through underground drainage pipes. Out of this 8 cu.m is used for the plant’s need and 22 cu.m for the community kitchen,” said Amuthavalli, Executive Engineer of Tiruchi Corporation.
