Major Phuket water shut-offs to affect Patong

 

Water supply to heavily populated residential and business areas will be affected by the water shut-offs on Tuesday (Dec 20).

 

PHUKET: -- Patong and heavily populated areas from Kathu across to Baan Borrae on Phuket’s east coast will suffer water shut-offs and reduced supply pressure on Tuesday (Dec 20) while repairs are carried out on major water mains pipes, the Phuket Waterworks Authority (PWA) has announced.

 

The affected areas include Patong, Wichit Songkram Rd, Chao Fa West Rd and Chao Fa East Rd, Thep Anusorn Rd, Pattana Tongtin Rd, Mueang Thong – Narang – Borrae Rd and Sakdidet Rd, the PWA announced in a notice issued yesterday (Dec 14).

 

Water supply will be affected from 9am until the works are completed, the notice said.

 

“Reserve water should be used as many areas will suffer reduced water pressure,” the PWA warned.

Never seen a drop of government water on upper side of Nanai, Patong for months and months, water might run for an hour/day if very lucky so situation normal (SNAFU) ...

Agreed.   In that general area, I haven't seen a drop of government water for over 8 years!

Had all low season to do the repairs....... waits until December (peak time) to start.  Amazing how the Thai brain works.  

Then again, low season/high season is the same now.
