PHUKET: Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup announced yesterday (May 27) that The Residence Kalim Bay will be prosecuted for releasing their wastewater onto Kalim Beach after an inspection found the condominium to be the source of wastewater flowing onto the beach in Patong.

 

Local residents had filed a complaint to Patong Municipality on Sunday afternoon. The following morning the mayor visited Kalim Beach to lead inspections after it became evident that the wastewater was not coming from Patong Municipality’s wastewater treatment system.

Unfortunately, it is something that everyone does, what they have caught is a "culprit" that you have to present to calm public opinion, all the other culprits including the authorities remain unpunished!

Aren’t there building inspectors that have to check a building after it is completed???? ( meets building codes ... electric, plumbing, construction, safety) 

I guess not. 

Yes on the larger developments there is supposed to be building control etc but what the Residence, and many others have since done is long after the building has passed all the required standards.....strange tho that the hotel says Kalim beach is a 4mins walkaway, long waste water pipe!

Way to go. Slap them with a 500baht fine, that should teach them to behave.
