Walking Street bars agree to help pay for new sewer lines

PATTAYA:--Polluting Walking Street businesses have begrudgingly agreed to install a new sewage system at their expense.

 

The 101 operators acquiesced to the city’s demand that they pay a share of the cost to resolve the pollution problem they caused at a Sept. 25 meeting with Wirath Jirasripraitoon of the Pattaya Sanitation Department at a Pattaya School No. 8.

 

The businesses, cited earlier this year for inadequate or nonexistent sewage management, had been balking at paying for anything because they claimed the investment would be wasted if the government ever enforced its long-standing demolition order for encroaching on public land.

 

But being as the bars, restaurants and other businesses have stalled any government action for more than 20 years, the owners acknowledged there was no real threat of them being shut down and therefore decided to invest.

What the F did I just read? The 101 are now going to pay for a sewage system because they don't think they're going to get booted off their illegal encroachment? Where exactly is this purported sewage system going to go?

So where will the sewer lines go to?  Is there a proper sewer treatment plant nearby?

Thai Law Enforcement 101; we admit we are illegal constructions; we accept Thai authorities cannot shift us; we'll take care of our own shit.

Agreeing is easy........getting the money is the more difficult part

Even if they lay the pipes, where is it going to go? Probably straight out to sea every time it rains and the pumping station can't handle it..

Where's the "shit" going now? In the sea? Amazing Thailand!
