Dirty work: A man washes himself at his home in Dharavi on April 5, 2008. In some parts of Dharavi, there is one shared tap for every 10 homes; in other parts, almost every home has a jerry-rigged tap. Often, taps have run for just an hour a day, and additional water, brought in on tankers, must be purchased. Sanitation is also a problem, with only one toilet per 1,440 people. Some areas have latrines that can be used for a fee: 1 rupee (2 cents) for a single use or 30 rupees (62 cents) for a monthly family pass.
