Phuket water supply tests could leave residents dry for days

[webfact]

 

In a recent announcement, the Phuket arm of the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) outlined water supply test plans to execute a series of step tests over the upcoming three days.

 

The measures are aimed to confirm the water pressure within the main supply pipes – a move that will impact several residences and businesses throughout different regions in Phuket.

 

Upon the execution of the step tests, it is predicted that the people of Phuket will experience drastically reduced water pressure, if not a complete absence of water flow through their taps.

 

Of the various planned step tests, the one scheduled at Koh Kaew, slotted between 9pm and 11pm tomorrow, is likely to impact various locales such as Soi Koh Kaew 1-18, Moo Baan Sapam Village, Supalai Koh Kaew, Soi Pa Maphrao, Soi Laem Hin through Soi Bang Chee Lao and Soi Pacharee (found off Thepkrasattri Road).
