"20% of city’s tap water is untreated"

[anontip]

"Although the present supply situation is stable, the quantity of untreated water making up tap water for Pattaya residents and businesses is more than 20 percent. The raw water comes from Mabprachan Reservoir."

I hope somebody can tell me that this is just a sensationalist new story and not for real.

I could believe that definitely, I'd say more than 20%, Some houses and hotels leave the tops off the tanks to use the rain water.

I have no evidence at all, but that sounds to me like its probably true. Common wisdom is, don't drink the water. So...don't.
