Media pressure gets Nongprue neighbors relief from sewage backup

PATTAYA:-- After four years of having their complaints ignored by Nongprue officials, a group of Nongprue homeowners got the media to solve their problem with sewage backups.

 

Chaowali Klinklan, representing the homeowners in Soi Mabyailia 23 development said she moved into her house in 2011, but for the past four years the nearby sewers have overflowed into her yard when it rains.

 

On July 2, the sub-district finally dispatched workers to fix things, about three weeks after she and her neighbors complained in the press.

 

The problem was obvious: Neighborhood drains were clogged and when it rains they backed up, taking sewage with them into the street. The road slopes, so the sewage then ran downhill into her yard and even into her house.

 

She and her neighbors have complained for years about the smelly, unsanitary condition, but all Nongprue officials only told them “we’re looking into it.”

Bit difficult to look into it from a feet-on-the-desk position.

Jobsworth <deleted> in the govt.

What about the raw sewage in Private Residences flowing into others property?...Can it be stopped or not?

Especially when it's done on purpose...as they know they are untouchable, because they are friend of someone special in the village...
