How is the water in Kandal / Ta Khmau?

Post by explorer »

In the past I have heard the water is unreliable in Kandal / Ta Khmau. How is it now? Can I expect a reliable water supply?

So the water has been behaving itself? Freezing at 0C, boiling at 100C and wet to the touch?

For the last six months there has been a lack of pressure to reach above three stories, and it will not get up to your tank which feeds all other rooms below
However there is always a reliable supply of water at the tap at your door step . Every so often, like last night the pressure gets back to normal for a few days.

Will you be installing a water pump? Seems like an easy fix? You could even run a separate pipe to the tank and just isolate the main feed and swap to the pumped feed as required.

Many people do have pump but it has to be where the water is,,, out side your house at the front door, then you take it inside at night .

This low pressure problem may finish when major road works at Chak Angre are finished.
