Monitoring and Surveillance of Drinking Water Quality and Sanitation

The Director of Phasi Charoen District has assigned the Environmental and Sanitation Division to conduct monitoring and surveillance of drinking water quality in educational institutions within the Phasi Charoen District on February 28, 2025. The purpose of this initiative is to prevent and monitor potential outbreaks of foodborne diseases and cholera. The assessment utilized test kits for measuring residual free chlorine and detecting Coliform bacteria (Escherichia coli) in water samples. This initiative aims to ensure that students have access to clean and safe drinking water that meets the standards for potable tap water quality for consumption and general use. Water samples were collected and tested from four educational institutions,

1) Siam University 2) Thanpanya School 3) British Columbia International School 4) Wat Rang Bua School Samples were taken from tap water sources before entering storage tanks, from water outlets after storage, and from kitchen-use water. The results indicated that all tested water samples met the established drinking water quality standards. On the same day, the Head of the Environmental and Sanitation Division assigned officers from the Environmental Section to conduct inspections and assessments of restroom hygiene in educational institutions within the Phasi Charoen District, including Siam University. The objective was to ensure that all facilities are clean, safe, and meet established sanitation standards. In addition, the division carried out public education and awareness campaigns to encourage proper maintenance of public restrooms, promote hygienic practices, and foster responsible behavior in restroom use to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The initiative also aimed to promote continuous development and improvement of restroom facilities to ensure cleanliness, adequate capacity, and user safety, in line with the national policy on hygienic public restrooms and the Public Toilet Standard (HAS).
