The village is located in a coastal area so that residents do not have proper sanitation facilities. Many people use slung toilets that do not have a septic tank and can pollute water sources. The purpose of holding this community service activity is to increase knowledge and change the behavior of Bajo Indah villagers about disposing of feces not in place which can damage aesthetics and can be a source of disease. The activities carried out were socialization using the lecture method, as well as building a communal septic tank as a model for local villagers. Results obtained from this community service activity are that the residents have recognized the importance of disposing of feces properly. The residents were also very enthusiastic in constructing 1 unit of the communal septic tank as a pilot for 3 houses, and the location for the construction was done in Hamlet I, Bajo Indah Village. It is hoped that the village apparatus and the local government will provide alternatives in the follow-up to the construction of communal septic tanks to reduce the economic burden on the residents, and each resident can have a toilet that meets health requirements.
