sid1967 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 so you connected it to the government water pipe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Maybe it varies by district, but yeah - the "gov" puts in a supply line and the consumer is supposed to do the connection and put in a meter at own cost. That's how we did it also. I worried about shutting of the supply when doing the connection but, as it turned out, just had to wait for "nam mai lai" and did it then.

Crossy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yup to the above (we're in Pathum Thani). Our contractor used a saddle connector to the government pipe and a certified (sealed) water meter from the local builders merchant. Water company came and read the meter and started billing.

monty Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 In Pattaya you have to take a meter from the water office. Nicely priced at 3600 Baht! On top of that you pay a security deposit. For a temporary (construction) supply this is another 5350 Baht. For a permanent meter the total cost is around 5000 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hook up fee. Current water cost 5 baht per unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardog Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) In Pattaya you have to take a meter from the water office. Nicely priced at 3600 Baht! On top of that you pay a security deposit. For a temporary (construction) supply this is another 5350 Baht. For a permanent meter the total cost is around 5000 Baht. Ouch in Bang Saray you supply the meter. ours was around 400 baht or so. The water is fairly cheap as well. with a borehole I would have to live another 30+ years to pay for itself. Same with electric meters Dirt cheap at homepro but they make you fork out major baht for the meter & deposits & you are forced to use their meters.At least they switched to smart meters here in our new house & our bill went down by 600-700 baht per bill.

bankruatsteve Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 FYI: Near Ban Dung (Udon Thani) our monthly water bill is about 30 baht. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
