Naklua’s Soi Kanrua to get new drainage system

PATTAYA:--Pattaya will spend 8 million baht to hopefully solve long-running flood problems in Naklua’s Soi Kanrua boatyard district.

Deputy Mayor Verawat Khakhay and Sanitation Department Director Weerat Jeerasriphaithun met with affected business owners July 2. Verawat explained that city hall has wanted to lay new drainage pipes and roads in the area for a long time, but objections from business owners, combined with unreliable contractors repeatedly delayed plans.

Faced with flooding that worsens each year, owners of the many boat-repair and construction yards in the area finally appeared willing to put up with months of construction that will force them to reduce or suspend business.
