provinces will deliver and display the quality of their products.

Chiang Mai Waterworks ready to provide clean water for everyone during the Songkran water-throwing festival
Supatatt Dangkrueng
Wanchai Phooparsert, Provincial Waterworks director, said
during the opening ceremony of a recent youth camp that there is enough
water for tourists and townspeople for the upcoming Songkran Festival. He
also reiterated that the Waterworks Department is going to set up coin
operated water-supply machines in many areas in town, similar to last year.
A
Chiang Mai Waterworks tanker is ready for all water needs.
One coin will deliver approximately 80 liters from the
water supply machine. Water from the Waterworks Department is as clean as
water being used in the households. According to Wanchai, there is no threat
to health using their water.
Wanchai also said that the hot and dry season has caused
a water shortage in many areas. He will make certain that people will have
sufficient water for household use and for irrigation.
Statistics from Chiang Mai Waterworks show that there is enough clean
water to go around during the Songkran Festival, as only 210 cubic meters
were used over the three-day celebration last year.
