Claiming deadbeats are drying up its liquidity, the
Provincial Waterworks Authority is threatening to begin cutting off water to
customers who don’t pay their bills within a week.
PEA officials said slow payers are causing the utility
financial hardship. Cash flow, liquidity and accounting problems were but a
few of the issues cited.
Therefore anyone who began water service with the PEA
before Oct. 1 now faces having the tap turned off if they’re more than seven
days late paying their monthly bill. The due date is marked in red on the
bills, officials said.
Anyone whose water is cut off will have to make a new
contract with the utility by presenting the paid bill, identification card
and house registration certificate at the PEA Pattaya office.
For more information, contact 038-222-462-4 or the PEA
Call Center at 1662.
