Why 13K litres ? Most water trucks are 10K litres & what is not used is dumped down the drain, s pool surge tank or your garden. And then there's the Electricity problems were they'll cut the voltage down from 220 to 110 volts, which, due to the low cycles will blow up your refrigeration compressors.

WARNING: When considering purchasing a Villa or House in Phuket, always ensure the house has at least 13K litres of in tank storage. Sometimes these intermittent water cut offs go on for weeks & sometimes PWA will reduce water supply pressure to approx 3 hrs a day for several weeks. Why 13K litres ? ,,cont.
