Rimmer Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 City cleans drains along Third Road PATTAYA:--City workers continued efforts to unblock Pattaya’s storm-drainage system, this time sucking out drains on Third Road. Sanitation Department employees later worked in front of the Ping Pub Aug. 21, opening drain covers and sucking sand, garbage and twigs out of pipes to prevent backups during heavy rains. Department Director Wirat Jiraphaithun said the clear drains will help water flow to the city’s water-treatment plants. The workers opened each drainage cover along Third Road in central Pattaya, checking and inspecting pipes. Employees took turns going underground to do the dirty work, passing up sand to be hauled away.

Jayman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It is indeed a sad state of affairs when MINIMUM routine maintenance becomes a news item !!! Waiting for a "Man flushes toilet after peeing" report. That Thais are doing anything proactively seems like a news story to me. How often does it actually happen?
