July 29, 200718 yr We live in Seethanu and our water was off when we got up yesterday, it hasn't been on since. Does anyone know what the problem is with the government water?
July 29, 200718 yr Author i didn't know there was government water on KPG?! mine comes from a waterfall. Yeah we have it but it's pretty bad sometimes. It came back on this evening, almost completely black water coming out of the taps, then it went off again an hour later and is still off
July 29, 200718 yr Does anyone know what the problem is with the government water? The problem is partly due to inadequate water reserves and infrastructure neglect, and partly due to user ignorance. For an example of the latter problem, take a look at the criminal way water is left running all day onto the road by the clothes shop opposite the toy shop near Centrepoint in Thongsala. There has to be a better way to keep the road dust down. jose '-)

I really must get around to installing a storage tank with a stop cock up in the roof and switch the domestic supply over to gravity fed from the tank at some stage.

Dig your own well if possible, buy a solarpump, get a 500 l tank and you will have clean water everyday. Watershortage will be more and more on Phangan.
