Good to finally see local reporting on the dire water situation. Posts here have been tracking the decreasing water levels since last November.

Correct. It is a far more serious issue at this time. 

I put an extra tank in 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness. The current city supply pressure is not adequate to keep the tanks full..... We have to be very careful now. Many water trucks in the viallage.

It's a classic "this on top of that" situation.

I knew the water situation was pretty bad but 5% ??? 

That sounds almost apocalyptic. Is that lake Pattaya's sole source ?

I'm sure i don't read nearly as much about Patts as some/many/most of you but how could I not have read/heard about exceptionally stringent water restrictions ?

There ARE such restrictions in Patts right now, no ?

Out where I live we get water about 1 day in 3 and that’s been the case for a few weeks now.

Had to chuckle at a very silly comment on FB which said “just use the water delivery trucks”. Doesn’t take a genius to know they will run out too as they fill up from mains supply.

Bore holes drying up too....don't a lot fill up that way?

I thought quite a lot of folk out on DS had their own bore holes (I did) but it might depend how deep they went.

 Nope. They occasionally mention on the radio, but it has been overshadowed by the virus stuff.....

I think their form of 'restrictions' is just turning the taps off....

The skies are rumbling as I type, just maybe we may get some rain
