Rimmer Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Pattaya urges water conservation PATTAYA:--While Pattaya’s anticipated water-shortage crisis appears to have been averted, city officials nonetheless are urging residents to conserve. On Jan. 17, government agencies and utilities aid they are diverting water and rerouting pipes to bring enough water to the Pattaya area to hopefully prevent previously what was predicted to be the worst water shortage in five years. But with Thailand’s drought still in full effect, city hall issue advice for residents and businesses to conserve water. People should fill containers, ponds and water towers with excess water to hold for dry times. Cover all containers to prevent the breeding of mosquitos carrying the dengue fever virus.

Don Mega Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ive a low spot in my backyard that fills with water and almost looks like a pond if I leave the sprinkler on for too long, as city hall has urged me to do so, I'll keep that pond filled with a modest top up as sunset every afternoon along with the rest of the yard.

It's fourteen days in Pattaya - wall-to-wall wet T-shirt competitions and daft farang boys paying champagne prices for dirty water to fill up their guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone knows better, but after pools are filled they won't loose too much water. Water is circulating, cleaned, filtered. BUT: will they have the courage to politely ask hotel guests to use water sensibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
