Rimmer Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Raw sewage dumped in Pong tapioca field PATTAYA:--Pong authorities are hunting for the driver of a sewer-cleaning truck that dumped its load of raw sewage in a tapioca field. Mayor Suntorn Ketthong and his deputies went to the field off Soi Ponglang 4 Dec. 21 to inspect the damage. The sewage was dumped on a sloping tapioca field and ran downhill, spreading the stinking offal over a 500-meter area. Pong water trucks washed down the area, but the damage to crops and noses lingered. Suntorn issued a warning to all area pump trucks against illegal dumping. Sub-district Clerk Kittisak Monkaew vowed to track down and prosecute the polluter. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2019-01-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post zyphodb Posted January 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2019 Unusual, it usually gets pumped into rice paddies at night up here in Isaan, no evidence, so no one cares. Something to think about as you tuck into your Hom mali.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Isaan too - so that's where my local "Lavender Wagon" empties its load. I am diabetic and must not eat sugar - thank God!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It should be put on fields. It is what the world did for thousands of years. IF it was treated properly, very little risk and better for the environment than dumping it into water courses, treated or not. We grow all our veggies organically (i.e. with shit).
