Collapsing land, broken
water pipes, and the rainy season have combined to cause misery for
residents of Fah Mi Aad Kan Village.
Vittaya Yoondorn
Residents in Pattaya Fah Mi Aad Kan Village have host patience
with the Provincial Waterworks Authority which has failed to fix broken
water pipes to nearly 100 homes, forcing residents to buy their own
water from trucks.
In response to Jeff Chumuchi’s Mailbag letter (on this page), we sent
Vittaya out to follow up on the situation:
Residents of the Siam Country Club neighborhood have complained about
repeated water outages, leaking and broken pipes and flooding. Pattaya
City Hall, they claim, is aware of the problem, as the Disaster
Mitigation and Prevention Department has, at times, deployed fire trucks
to distribute free water, but most times residents are forced to buy
from water trucks.
PWA and Nongprue Sub-district officials blamed construction in the
neighborhood for the problems. Nongprue officials said pipes must be
replaced in some areas while, at the entrance of the village, work is
already complete. However, some ground has collapsed and the rainy
season has delayed progress more, as well as led to water retention.
Residents facing problems can contact the Provincial Waterworks
Authority at located at 26/1 Moo 12 Nongprue Banglamung Chonburi 20150,
or call 038-222-4624.
