PHUKET: A second ozone generator water-treatment machine is being installed at the Pak Bang Canal in Kamala and will come online this Friday (Mar 22) in the hope of cleaning the filthy water that now runs through the channel.

 

The first ozone machine came onstream last Friday (Mar 15) and is already yielding positive results, Nopporn Karuna, explained Deputy Chief of the Kamala Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor).

 

"We finished installing the first ozone system on Mar 14 and started the machine at 8:30am the next day,” he said.

Treat the source of the pollution not the pollution itself.

 

In other words, take measures to prevent the contamination to begin with.

A representative of the Kamala Or Bor Tor office immediately announced that  one of the sources could not be  the Sunwing/Sunprime Hotel , that borders the klong , and is very large , and has two very large pipes feeding into the klong about 300 metres from the above pic.

He didnt say why.

Later the same office claimed they had found 3 guesthouses further up the klong  not complying with local law governing waste water.

 

Hello , we are to believe that only 3 guesthouses are making this black mess?

Kamala has NO SEWERAGE SYSTEM.

Thousands more tourists and residents are being encouraged to move there by overzealous builders and agents  and an uncaring and complicite local government .

Not one resort talks about making a minimal footprint or building their own treatment plant.

Its basically a 'free-for-all' wherein all those pesky costs usually carried by developers before they make a fortune  are minimised or ignored .

The result is land degradation , filthy klongs and dirty sea , dead reefs ,  parking issues and dust.

 

 

And its not going to get any better .

Instead of doubling up, perhaps they should quadruple up.

Sad you even have the write that, but air pollution is “fixed” by spraying water in the air-it’s getting pathetic.  Same getting the public to do the police’s work
