百万元建公厕，领导视察才开门？回应来了
双语君约 4 分钟The Jishan county government in Shanxi province issued a statement on Monday addressing public complaints over newly built rural public toilets that were "only for show" and not open for use.
通报称，7月20日晚，央视媒体对稷山县农村公厕未能正常开放公开报道后，稷山县委县政府高度重视，立即组织人员对媒体报道的情况进行实地核查，确实存在此类问题，情况属实。
The statement came after a Sunday report exposing that many public toilets in rural Jishan were locked and inaccessible despite being constructed as part of a government initiative. Following the media coverage, the Jishan county Party committee and government immediately launched an on-site investigation and confirmed the issue. "The issues reported are verified to be true," the statement read.
对此，县委县政府立即组织召开专题会议，安排部署整改工作，对全县农村公厕使用管理情况进行全面排查，切实把资金、人员、制度等长效管理机制落实到位，确保农村公用设施正常开放。同时县纪委监委对相关失职失责人员进行严肃追责问责。
The county has since organized emergency meetings to rectify the mismanagement, promising a full review of all rural public toilets to ensure proper funding, staffing, and maintenance systems. Additionally, the disciplinary commission will hold accountable those responsible for negligence.
此前报道
据央视新闻报道，接到群众举报，山西省运城市稷山县村里投入不少资金建成的新公厕，常年挂着锁、关着门，成了村民口中“只好看不好用”的摆设。
带着疑问，记者来到了运城市稷山县进行调查。当地不少村民向记者反映，这两年村里确实新建了公共厕所，看上去干净整洁、设施也挺全，但村民们却很少使用过，有的公厕，干脆一次都没向村民开放过。
Earlier, villagers had complained that despite government investments, newly built toilets were kept locked, only opening for officials' visits or special events. Reporters found that while modern facilities stood unused, residents continued using foul-smelling, outdated latrines nearby.
顺着村民的指引，记者看到了这些新建的公厕。而在这些大门紧锁的崭新公厕不到100米的地方，就是村民们日常还在使用的旱厕，刺鼻的异味扑面而来。当地的村民告诉记者，新建的公共厕所都是不提供日常使用的，只有村里有活动或领导来视察的时候才会开放。
Public records revealed that in 2023, the Jishan Agriculture Bureau spent around 2.3 million yuan to construct 23 public toilets across villages. However, when questioned, officials could not specify their locations.
When reporters requested access, they were denied entry, with staff claiming they had "no keys".
A fully equipped facility with brand-new fixtures stood unused inside. Village officials admitted they keep it locked to avoid operational expenses and maintenance challenges, citing concerns about "potential misuse by villagers." As a result, residents continue using outdated, unsanitary pit latrines instead.
