Phuket health officials to test Surin Beach brown outflow

Yutthawat Lekmak

 

 

PHUKET:-- Health officials will conduct tests on water exiting an outflow pipe behind a hotel at Surin Beach despite being informed that it carries only rainwater run-off. Concern from officials follows the pipe spewing a plume of brown water onto the beach last Friday (Sept 30).

 

Phatsorn Wisuthiwatcharakul, Chief of Public Health and Environment Division at Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor), inspected the pipe on Wednesday (Oct 5) after being informed of last Friday’s “fountain of brown” surging from the pipe.

 

“We inspected the pipe and it does not belong to the hotel,” Ms Phatsorn told The Phuket News.

 

“It also is not one of ours (Cherng Talay OrBorTor). The pipe was installed by Cherng Talay Municipality, and their officers told us that the pipe was installed many years ago to drain excess rainwater to the sea,” she said.

"Rainwater run off".  "Fountain of brown".

Yeah right! Pretty well describes what everyone else thinks it is.

Well, as the health department refuse to publish the results of water tests on the west coast beaches, what are the chances of them releasing the test results for this "brown water"?

no news is good news. i watched the guy scoop up a bucket of the yellow/brown water in a bucket on thai tv. would be interesting to know what it was. was quite thick and flowing very fast. sewerage septic run off is normally a very dark colour. this stuff looked like it was recently flushed.

Trust me it's only rust from the " OLD Concrete Pipes "

We would not dump <deleted> on the beach

Meanwhile maybe someone connected to this pipe

Brown Outflow + Brown Envelope = No Problem.

Sounds like a load of crap to me.
