Sathorn: Metropolitan Waterworks Authority and Department of Health has started the project “drinking tap water” around Bangkok since 1999. To save costs of purchasing drinking water. They guarantee the tap water that they produce based on standards according to the drinking water quality criteria of the World Health Organization. Prim Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said “ His family usually drink tap water and then he drank it publicly show to confirm the water in a tap is high quality. However, the people still do not trusted. Them stated the water is clean. Why they can not get any trust from people?
As I see, many towers are installed on the footpath near the road. They should install the tap tower away from the road. Some locations tower is like big trash. Thetray is small and dirty. I never see any government sectors clean the towers, pipelines and test the residual chlorine. I used tap water to wash my hand. The smell seems like chlorine. The government should solve this problem as soon as possible.
If I have a better way than drinking water from the tower certainly, I will choose the better way.
