More than 100 homeowners in Sattahip’s Country Hill development are
without water despite paying what they call excessive bills to property
managers.
Sattahip Police Superintendent Col. Chonapat Naowalak took complaints from
residents Dec. 2 after the East Water Co. cut off service to the village.
Royal Thai Navy Lt. Chaiyamongkol Phuthawang said the utility told him that
Country Hill’s managers had not paid their bills even though he and other
residents had been paying exorbitant rates of up to 21 baht per measured
unit, far above East Water’s normal rates.
The water system to the development is internally managed, with East Water
charging one rate to the management for service to the entire neighborhood.
Country Hill development managers were not available for comment.
Chonapat said he is talking with the sub-district government to help resolve
the matter.
