Pattaya installs 7 pumps to tackle Beach Road flooding

PATTAYA:--Pattaya has temporarily installed seven new high-power water pumps along Beach Road to tackle chronic flooding issues while it constructs a permanent solution.

Following yet another round of heavy rain and flooding, Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome oversaw the installation of the pumps at three places along Beach Road Oct. 23. Four pumps are located at the foot of Soi 6 - one of the worst-hit flood areas - two across from Central Festival Pattaya Beach and one at the entrance of Walking Street.

Soi 6 got special attention as, for years, water has raced down that street and adjacent Soi 6/1 and carved out huge trenches in the sandy beach opposite.

The mayor also inspected Soi 1 and ordered Sanitation Department workers two sweep the street and remove garbage that has piled up due to storm drainage.

Water-quality manager Somphop Wandee said the pumps were necessary as, during heavy rain, runoff flows from East Pattaya down to Pattaya Beach.
