PHUKET:-- The Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) has introduced water rations for residents and local businesses in an effort to prevent water supplies for the area being exhausted entirely.

 

“During the dry season, there is less water to replenish water supplies. This leads to having not enough water that people need to use,” Cherng Talay OrBorTor Chief MaAnn Samran said in an statement announcing the water restrictions.

 

The announcement was signed by Mr MaAnn and dated yesterday (Jan 21), but posted by the Cherng Talay OrBorTor today (Jan 22).

Dry season has just started, and there must have been many months of rain in Phuket, why did you not make more reservoirs? 

 

What have the administration been doing in all this time. Really goes to show, how incompetent these guys really are.

We were told in Karon that water will only be available from 6am until midday after having no water for a day and a half but it doesn't seem to have happened yet!

 

The rainy season was much shorter last year than the previous two years so I reckon water shortages are bound to happen.
