The Provincial Electrical Authority reached out to
Pong Sub-district residents to help them prevent power outages.
The Aug. 30 workshop at Wat Pong High School sought
to educate Pong residents on electricity safety and usage and outline
the responsibilities of the PEA in bringing power to their homes and
businesses. The seminar also reviewed the process of how residents can
report power outages.
PEA Pattaya station manager Somsak Phityaphongporn
said because of the distance from downtown Pattaya to rural Pong, power
outages take longer to resolve. By improving reporting of power
problems, those delays can be reduced, he said.
The PEA wants to train 100 area residents in the correct procedures
to use. Somsak said by making residents a part of the system, electrical
service to the outlying sub-district can be improved.
