Water hygiene confirmed despite different smell and colour

UPDATE : 30 October 2011

The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority has confirmed the hygiene of the water produced after water from Muang Ake has overflown into the Waterworks (Prapa) Canal.

However, there’s a possibility that the consumable water will have a different smell and colour. People are advised to boil it before consuming.

The Authority is checking the water quality daily and ensuring the hygiene by adding oxygen, chloride and other purifying substances.

No disease such as E coli nor toxic chemicals have been found.

MP Karun affirms boats and floating toilets are kept for flood relief purpose

BANGKOK, 30 October 2011 (NNT) - Pheu Thai Don Mueang MP Karun Hosakul confirmed no boats and floating toilets kept away from being used to assist flood victims.

Asked about the leftover donation goods found in the Flood Relief Operations Centr (FROC) Don Mueang Airport, Mr. Karun said that the clothes, which he had not yet seen, were probably unusable and thus, had been screened out accordingly. Formerly, he had announced that second-hand clothes were not preferred as they would be of no use.

Moreover, it is affirmed that the boats and the floating toilets, under the responsibility of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, are kept in the warehouse, lining up to be distributed to the suitable places afterwards. They are neither left behind nor stocked up as personal properties as appeared in the news.
