Salinity levels in the Chao Phraya River are elevated, impacting water quality for tap water treatment, though the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority assures continuous supply.
Farmers along the Phraya Banlue canal are requested to temporarily halt water pumping on January 13th and 14th to enhance the flushing effort during peak tides.
The Public Health Ministry has instructed hospitals to secure alternative water sources and conserve, while advising the public not to panic over slightly salty tap water, suggesting boiling it if unsure.
