Nongprue has begun the job of replacing drainage pipes under Soi Siam Country Club, hoping to finish the work before the onset of the rainy season.
The work was begun following complaints about chronic flooding and foul-smelling sewage backups. Some complained that thoughtless neighbors were dumping trash into sewers clogging the flood drains.
Sub-district council member Surasit Rasee brought Nongprue Engineering Division crews to the street April 20 where laborers began digging up the tunnels to clean them out and estimate the time needed to completely replace them with larger pipelines. No estimate was given.
Workers begin digging up rubbish and waste to unblock the drains in Nongprue.
