Pattaya officials are asking Thepprasit Soi 7 residents for more patience as
a construction company completes a project to lay new underground
water-drainage pipe.
Deputy Mayor Verawat Khakhay met with Tu Sodope of Thaiwat SG Construction
Co. June 10 to relay complaints from affected homeowners and businesses
about the long-running construction. He urged Thaiwat SG to wrap up work as
quickly as possible.
The firm has been expanding the drainage system in the Jomtien Beach area by
laying 2-by-2-meter square pipes underground from Thepprasit Soi 7 to Wat
Boonkanjanaram Soi 4, totaling 2.218 kilometers. As of June 10, 1.7 km had
been laid.
After brainstorming for the solutions to the problems together with the
residents, the city asked residents to have more patience as the last 550
meters are laid. At the same time, it told Thaiwat SG executives to hurry,
as the worst of the rainy season is rapidly approaching.
