Sanitation workers clear
drains and replace iron grates on Second Road in preparation of the coming
rainy season.
Vittaya Yoondorn
Pattaya workers have replaced a half-dozen drain covers
before rainy season really sets in.
Sanitation Department chief Manus Thunginth directed
workers to replace iron grates on Second Road that had cracked or rusted.
Workers also used drills and jackhammers to clear drains of obstructions.
Manus said residents can call the Pattaya Call Center at
1337 if they know of more broken drain covers, which pose safety risks to
motorists.
At the same time he urged people not to use city drains
as garbage cans, as it only exacerbates flooding during rainstorms.
