The mess the PWA
contractors left…
Urasin Khantaraphan
Residents near the CAT Telecom office called for help as a
project by the Pattaya Waterworks Authority to lay new pipe drags into
its third week.
Having dug up the sidewalk, CAT’s workers have caused much difficulty
for passersby and telephone company employees.
CAT executive Thatchapong Kattiwanit said he was told PWA dug up the
area to lay larger drainage pipes before the rainy season sets in. PWA,
however, outsourced the work to a contractor, who has left their work
area a mess. Pedestrians must walk on Third Road, putting them in harm’s
way.
Prasat Sawatpong, a safety officer for CAT, said the pipe actually had
been laid days before, but rubble from the dig remained.
Once press inquiries began, workers hurriedly brought in trucks to clear
some of the debris so people could walk by.
