No water bills
until next year
Water supply bills won’t have to be paid until the beginning of next year,
under a national government initiative to help the population during these
difficult economic times by decreasing daily living expenses.
Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej declared a six-month policy with six projects
designed to help the Thai people through the lean times.
One of the projects is to suspend payment of the water supply bill for families
that consume less than 50 cubic meters of water a month, which amounts to 3.2
million users. The estimated saving is 213 baht a month for Nakorn Luang zone
users, and 176 baht a month for other provincial users. This amount is covered
by a national 3.93 billion baht budget.
