Operators who are releasing untreated wastewater into the drains in the resort town on the west coast of Phuket Island are being asked to urgently solve the problem before legal action is taken and enforced. “Some operators are releasing untreated wastewater into drains. The municipality has identified about 50 operators, including hotels, restaurants, and houses that are releasing untreated wastewater, she said. Phase 4 of a new wastewater treatment system is now under construction and expected to be complete by the end of 2018. “We are also planning to build Phase 5 of wastewater treatment as well,” she added.
