Condo , no water 2 days

[Sqoop]

My condo, in jomtien, started a roof tank cleaning project. We have had no water for two days. They seem very relaxed about the issue. There is no sense of urgency. 

 

They indicate that there are broken pumps and that water levels are not sufficient. It seems like poor project management.

Are you renting? I had a problem like this ongoing for months. I finally contacted the landlord and claimed breach of contract due to no water and moved. Deposit was returned.

[Sqoop]

Yes I'm renting. I've already contacted the agent. But I have not expressed breach of contact yet. I'm just amazed by the lack on concern that staff show.

Prior to tank cleaning you should buy a BIG bucket, fill water to the top. 

A couple of hundred litres will keep you going for a few days.

The trick in Thailand is to find a condo with competent management.

Swimming pool, down stairs showers and bottled water. And of course down stairs toilets.

Could you not make a claim to the owner to put you in a hotel? that is also a health hazard, 

[Sqoop]

Yes I'm talking to the agent.

When we had the tanks cleaned a couple years ago it took a couple days, they warned in advance to fill up bottles etc, even supplied some. Did they not give you any warning?

I wonder if he is listening.

Never ever happened in our condo. They manage water supply just fine.

Probably same thai project management logic as with roadworks in Pattaya City: first dig open all streets . Then start fix and fill the diggings slowly one by one with limited resources and budgets that may stop for a while several times before the whole job is complete. 

 

So start clean all tanks simultaneously instead of one by one, keeping water supply uninterrupted. In the meantime the team doing the job have some other urgent (better paying) jobs. 

 

Unless condo management /committee insists on detailed plan and it's approval prior to starting the work, 99.9% sure something will go wrong... 

 

TIT.

Maybe taking them awhile to clean the dead rats, clothes, trash, filth, dead birds or cats out of the tank.

I can say Riverside Condo in Chiang Mai is reasonably well run.

 

Sorry, I don't want to share my present condo location.

Urban Condo on soi 15 has excellent management. I bought new in 2009 and it had some rough patches up to 2014 when the developer appointed Juristic was pretty much crap. After they were all sacked and a professional juristic management company was appointed it's been excellent. My 14 year old condo block still looks like new, very well maintained.

Do you defecate and urinate into a bucket?  How does your woman keep her cooch clean and sweet smelling?

It builds character.  Not sure about a rotten cooch though, kind of like low tide on a hot day.

Maybe this forum is the wrong place to complain,perhaps just maybe you should try the condo management
