The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) set up 500 water-supplying service points across Bangkok to alleviate the flood-affected people's woes.
MWA assistant governor Wikrom Suwanchomphu said MWA could produce and supply tap water to some 10 million people as usual and improve the tap water quality to meet the World Health Organisation’s standard. As MWA set up 500 water-supplying points at shelters and MWA office branches – except Bang Bua Thong, Bangkok Noi and Phasee Charoen branches – flood-affected people could bring containers to get the water for use, he said. Some heavy-traffic service points such as The Mall Ngamwongwan would also hand out a five-liter drinking water bag, he added. Call the hotline 1125.
