Pattaya engineers are asking Pratamnak Soi 6 residents not to
foul newly installed drainage pipes by throwing garbage into storm
drains.
Engineer Badinphat Thawatphabun said the 33.9 million baht spent on
installing new pipes under the often-flooded street is now complete. But
their effectiveness can easily be hampered by the common practice of
residents and street vendors using storm drains as trash cans.
He also warned those washing cars in front of homes to be sure the
runoff flows toward drains and not into pockets where standing water can
form.
Work covered more than three kilometers of Pratamnak Soi 6. Improvements
included 3,458 meters of 80 cm. pipe, 224 wastewater reservoirs and
replacement of pipes at Uthong Beach so that it connects to the Pattaya
wastewater treatment plant on Soi Wat Bunyakanchanaram.
Connection to area hotels has not been completed, but will be done upon
request, Badinphat said.
“Now”, the drainage system
has been installed and pavement repaired.
