Tessaban had announced at the start of the month of upcoming water outages. Well, half way into the month there is no water.

We’ve still got water so I guess we’re on a localised supply.
The funny thing is we’re having the best pressure I’ve ever seen. The garden sprinklers are actually sprinkling rather than dribbling

Yes, our tank, here in Ban Jan is maintaining maximum capacity. The wife did laundry yesterday and the tank is still full.

I can’t easily check our tanks since I lagged them. Actually, it wasn’t that easy before as they’re in the roof space.
I’ve got a couple of taps further down the inlet that Mrs N uses to water the garden & they’re at full pressure so I’m assuming the tanks are full

On the summary table, I read it as:
Huai Luang
24 MCM (Million Cubic Meters) Stored
18% of Maximum Storage Level (capacity)
13% of Maximum Storage Level usable.

If I'm reading it correctly, 13% usable water wouldn't last very long. Maybe a few weeks at most if not replenished.
