City takes over delayed Jomtien sewage pipe project

PATTAYA:--Pattaya city workers were called in to complete a badly delayed sewage pipeline project in Jomtien Beach that has residents up in arms.

 

Ten city engineers were on site March 3 on Jomtien Third Road near Siam Commercial Bank to complete work on the sewage tunnel project begun last year to prevent flooding and overflows of smelly waste.

 

PSI Engineering began work near the Grand Jomtien Hotel last year and was supposed to complete the job by now. Now several months delayed, the city stepped in to complete the job after residents complained loudly about ripped up streets and open sewers.

In Mexico City they send divers down in suits to clear the drains dead bodies and all. The job is hazardous but the pay is good. 

is this is just a pipe to take the sewer water further out to sea?

I think its repairs to the treated sewage outlet, there are a couple of lite up bouys about 400 m out where the outlet is.

here in pattaya proper we are still waiting the completion of several ridiculous thai inspired projects...

And who owns PSI I wonder? What action is being taken against them for their contractual non-performance?

Unknown as yet, at first glance it would seem the sewer water goes further out when the tide goes out yet comes closer in when the tide comes in. Physics or something?

You can see and smell the sewage in the water.

unfortunately yes

Safety first. LOL

I will only say that in three years, after being warned, I WILL NOT, under any circumstances, be in the sea here.

I like going to Koh Larn good for swimming.

Clarification filtered sewage into the sea, I know I'm a fair guy even though I get over excited sometimes 

Maybe they will take care of it , but don't hold your breath , or maybe you should....  

 

There was a huge pipe only a few days ago you could see when you drove past.

 

Not the one in the photo.

 

Anyway it's been bad for local business and access to the beach.

If we really think positively why would they filter water going to the sea except they are doing their best not to let germs from human be in open water.   How nice job

In another news item it was reported that the sewage treatment plant is only processing 20% of what it should be so the other 80%

goes where ?

 

 

Cant wait for the old Watboon to reopen again,  

those business must have suffered over the

time the road was closed for this work.

Be great to see how bad the roundabout will be  with the boat fleet coming

up and down that road,

 

^ Yeah, poor Soi 11, once a quiet little connecting Road between the Beach and 2nd Road and now like the M1.

 

Plenty of boats up there tonight.
