Rimmer Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Na Jomtien foot-dragging means beach sewage spills to continue PATTAYA:--There’s no end in sight to sewage spills on outer Jomtien Beach due to continued foot-dragging by Na Jomtien officials on linking pipes to Pattaya’s treatment plants. Beachgoers and businesses along a stretch of outer Jomtien Beach from Soi 17 to the Pupen restaurant long have complained about black and smelly sewage fouling the beach and water there, leaving it unusable. In April 2017 the problem became so bad the Pattaya Sanitation Department said it would funnel the sewage to Soi Wat Boonsamphan sewage-treatment plant if the sub-district linked its pipes to the city’s. It never did, despite another major sewage spill in February and again May 5-7. Jirasak Suparos of the Na Jomtien Engineering Department said the spills occur after heavy rainstorms during which both seweage and rainwater flow into a large cesspool built under a road in Moo 1 village. The culvert overflows and sends wastewater into the sea. The latest spill – and Na Jomtien’s refusal to fix the long-running problem – brought out officials from the Chonburi office of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment May 8.

They should have demanded that, with a hefty fine and jail time for the responsibles if not. However, Thai authorities taking care of a problem in an effective way? Somebody must be joking! 1
doremifasol Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 To beautify Pattaya is a priority, to sanitize Pattaya is not. Go figure. ?

Course waiting for zero tourism is another option. 1
