When he saw the bill, he was shocked because the water bill was unusually high, almost 40,000 baht.

Therefore, we must first check the cause, whether the meter is damaged or not. Or is it the use of water that has been lost or leaked?

Additionally, Hua Hin Municipality’s water supply system encountered a drought problem this month, resulting in a water shortage. The water problem can be caused by waiting for water. who had left the faucet open There may be moving air in the pipe before the water reaches it. It may cause abnormal water consumption. There are many factors in this part.

Including first request a meter evaluation from the water data collector to see what caused it. Is this from someone who wrote it? Is it really caused by water use? It is expected that it will take no more than 3-4 days to discover the cause.
