Pattaya’s permanent secretary handed over more of the city’s 159.4 million baht budget to upgrade underground pipelines in hopes of resolving long-running water-distribution problems.

Pakorn Sukhonthachat distributed the 15th and 16th of 50 installments the city plans to lay new pipe and widen canals to solve issues with getting water to neighborhoods uphill from reservoirs and treatment plants that experience water shortages even thought the city has plenty to spare.
