Rotten lake causes a stink in Nong Plalai

PATTAYA:--Something is rotten in Nong Plalai’s SP4 Village and residents say it’s a pond that has been turned into a sewer.

 

Denizens complained that the natural lake behind their development had become filled with wastewater, sending nauseating odors over the area for the past two years.

 

About half the village is impacted by the pond that smells like a toilet.

 

Mayor Pinno Homklan and Maj. Suwit Laklang, representative from the National Council for Peace and Order’s Banglamung division, took a team of health workers to the lake Dec. 15.

 

Employees sprayed 400 liters of disinfecting spray into the rotting pond and around the surrounding area to combat the smell and improve the water quality. They returned two days later with another 500 liters.

 

Nong Plalai authorities also dropped two tons of water lilies and other plants into the lake to help clear the water. Lilies absorb wastewater through roots and will clean the water naturally in a few days.
