Based on data obtained from local agencies, it was recorded that there were 155 family heads in Allu Hamlet, Minasa Baji Village, Bantimurung District, Maros Regency, but only 60% of family heads had family latrines that met the requirements or health standards, thus there were still 40% of family heads who did not have family latrines that met the requirements, this could be a big problem if not immediately addressed, because it could be the cause of environmental pollution which in turn could cause various diseases.
