Pattaya urges water conservation

 

PATTAYA:--While Pattaya’s anticipated water-shortage crisis appears to have been averted, city officials nonetheless are urging residents to conserve.

 

On Jan. 17, government agencies and utilities aid they are diverting water and rerouting pipes to bring enough water to the Pattaya area to hopefully prevent previously what was predicted to be the worst water shortage in five years.

 

But with Thailand’s drought still in full effect, city hall issue advice for residents and businesses to conserve water.

 

People should fill containers, ponds and water towers with excess water to hold for dry times. Cover all containers to prevent the breeding of mosquitos carrying the dengue fever virus.

I thought they did this 10 or more years ago when there was a really bad year, for sure they put at least one pipeline in from a river, can't remember the details now!

Perhaps that river is now a creek.

Ive a low spot in my backyard that fills with water and almost looks like a pond if I leave the sprinkler on for too long, as city hall has urged me to do so, I'll keep that pond filled with a modest top up as sunset every afternoon along with the rest of the yard.

Greed and ignorance will not stand in the way of profit to be made during the lunacy of Pattaya's corrupted version of Sonkran.

It's fourteen days in Pattaya - wall-to-wall wet T-shirt competitions and daft farang boys paying champagne prices for dirty water to fill up their guns.

So what did the water authority in Pattaya do on 28/29 Jan they cut the water supply to over half of Pattaya, that's one way of conserving water don't worry about hygiene aspect of the Coronavirus where Pinicchio is urging people to wash their hands after touching anything TIT

With the reduction of tourists due to the corona virus the water supply should be safe.

It will ease the pressure on supply, but I wouldn't call it safe.

Take a shower with a friend; you know it makes sense.

Maybe someone knows better, but after pools are filled they won't loose too much water.

Water is circulating, cleaned, filtered.

 

BUT: will they have the courage to politely ask hotel guests to use water sensibly?
