Global Day of the Toilet November 19, 2016

World Toilet Day 2016 MNMark your calendar! World Toilet Day 2016 is once again right around the corner. The 19th of November is designated as the day to take a closer look at Sustainable Sanitation for countries all around the globe. CSI Custom Septic, Inc. is a local Minnesota Septic Contractor that understands the health hazards of living without an Efficient Sewer System to safely dispose of human waste. We would like to extend an invitation to our fellow MN residents to learn something new about a Common Bathroom Fixture that so many take for granted. But, so many lives may depend on access to Good Sanitation.

 

Why Focus on Toilets?

You may be wondering why toilets are important enough to get their own Global Day of Recognition. You would be hard pressed to find a home in Minnesota that doesn’t have at least one toilet. Try to imagine living in a remote area of the world where Clean Water and a Clean Safe Toilet are a luxury. The lack of Good Sanitation increases the potential for transmitting Deadly Diseases dangerously high.
