Deputy Mayor Verawat Khakhay chaired the Aug. 24
meeting with PWA Manager Araya Ngamwongwan, Dusit Thani Hotel General
Manager Chatchawan Supachayanont, city council members and business
people at city hall.
Verawat said the city’s growing population
continually presents challenges in providing tap water to everyone.
While outright supply shortages are no longer a problem, the actual
distribution system remains insufficient to serve every neighborhood
without disruption.
Araya reviewed the list of reservoirs the PWA taps to
pull water into the city and usage statistics. Pattaya uses about 5,980
cu. meters of water per hour while the utility can supply more than
6,320 cu. meters per hour. He said one way to boost those figures would
be to recycle water per plans laid out by the Thai Industrial Standards
Institute.
People experience water shortages can call
038-222-462-4.
