Aw, give the guy a break, you know he's been busy on stopping deforesting and other things.

A CEO member from Sihanoukville complains that their section of town has had no town water supply since Xmas Eve.

My old man tried to do his laundry and they said three days until they get water. There's certainly new pipes being put in around the brewery

Only in Chinaville ,,,, Coming soon ,,, Laundry washed in beer .

Sihanoukville's water woes continue. Water cuts are a regular occurrence for most Sihanoukville residents who do not live in a hotel or a casino. Those who can afford it, buy their water or dig a well. Those who don't, do without. They say the well water is often so foul smelling and brown, that anything washed in it - people, dishes, or clothes - come out of the wash even dirtier than they went in.

Meanwhile, the principal source of fresh water for the city, Boeung Prek Tup, has been contaminated by developers, and the competent authorities are promising that an alternative city water supply will be on tap by Khmer New Year, more than two months away. Last year, there were promises that the water problem would be resolved by New Year - "complete by December", a competent spokesman claims here": posting.php?mode=reply&f=9&t=23887#pr291585

Sihanoukville short of fresh water
Voun Dara | Publication date 01 February 2019 | 09:51 ICT
Villagers and local freshwater vendors on Thursday expressed concern about fresh water supply in Preah Sihanouk province, after a private company partially filled fresh water reservoir Boeung Prek Tup with sand for tourist development.

Boeung Prek Tup is a natural lake located in Sihanoukville’s Village 1, Commune 3, and was used as a reservoir supplying fresh water to the city’s residents.

Khim Samnang, a villager and freshwater vendor from the city’s Commune 3, told The Post his business of transporting and selling fresh water in the province has been ruined.

“People don’t want to purchase the water from Boeung Prek Tup anymore because it has become saltier. Even hotels that used to buy water from me to wash their dishes don’t want to buy it anymore because they are afraid the salt water will ruin their dishes,” he said.

Samnang explained that the lake’s water became saltier once it was filled with sand extracted from the sea for the development.

“The water was never salty. But now, after the lake was filled with sand, the water became salty. When the water was distributed to the villages, people started to complain that it is too salty to consume,” he said.

Sim Darak, a fellow resident of Commune 3, said that villagers no longer know where to get their fresh water supply from.

“The fresh water supplied by the government does not come regularly. Some days the water comes, the next day it does not. Freshwater from Boeung Prek Tup cannot be used anymore, so I don’t know where to get fresh water,” he said.

Preah Sihanouk provincial hall spokesperson Or Saroeun confirmed that the area has been transformed into a tourist destination by a private company that has been permitted to develop the area.

“We cannot use Boeung Prek Tup to supply fresh water anymore because the population has gone up drastically. Experts at the national and provincial level decided not to use Boeung Prek Tup to supply water to the province anymore,” he said.

Saroeun said that town planning experts and Anco Water Supply Co Ltd – a private company in charge of distributing water in the Kbal Chhay area – are determined to provide a reliable source of fresh water to the affected villages by Khmer New Year.

One of my wife's mates is coining it in from her well, there was a constant stream of motos coming to fill from her hose. I observed a never-ending cycle whilst the old ball and chain flapped her gums. It will be a problem soon, though, even after all that rain my well needs extending down to chase the water, and I'm in spitting distance of Kbal Chhay.

Nongdy Nara, provincial head of public relations, said “In some areas, people have weak access to water – some can use water, while others cannot – especially people living near construction site”

Duh! The all city is a construction site!

PS: to all who care. For once I anticipated the crisis and built a DIY four stages gravitational filters water treatment plant for my deep well. We now have the cleanest water I ever had in Cambodia as both my ice cubes and my bathtub compared to the ones of any PP 4* hotel can attest.
