ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SANITARY LATRINES Bore –hole latrines: Advantages: There is no need for the services of a sweeper for daily removal of nightsoil. The pit is dark and unsuitable for fly breeding. Disadvantages: The bore hole fills up rapidly because of its small capacity. In many places , the subsoil water is high and the soil loose , with the result it may be difficult to dig a hole deeper than 3 m(10 feet).

Dug well latrines: Advanatges: It is easy to construct and no special equipment such as an auger is needed to dig the pit has a longer life than the bore hole because of greater cubic capacity.
