Pattaya Engineering Department workers cleared storm
drains along Second Road to prepare for the deluge of water and powder about
to hit the city for Songkran.
Sanitation Office Director Ampol Saengsawang led about 10
workers with pumps and cleaning equipment on the streets April 3, replacing
drain covers and unclogging pipes along three kilometers of Second Road.
Besides natural blockages, plenty of garbage and cooking
fat dumped in the drains by people were sucked out.
Ampol said some unclogging work is done monthly, although
even moderate rain storms still back up the system. However, he implored
residents to not use the city’s overtaxed drainage system as a garbage dump.
