PHUKET: The Phuket branch of the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) has announced a slew of ‘step tests’ to confirm water pressure in mains supply pipes that affect many homes and businesses in various areas in Phuket over the next three days.
The step tests will leave residents with greatly diminished water pressure, or no water at all flowing from their taps.
A Step Test in Koh Kaew from 9pm to 11pm tomorrow (July 17) will affect Soi Koh Kaew 1-18, Moo Baan Sapam Village, Supalai Koh Kaew, Soi Pa Maphrao, Soi Laem Hin to Soi Bang Chee Lao and Soi Pacharee (off Thepkrasattri Rd).
A step test from 10am to midday in Rawai on Tuesday (July 18) will affect all homes and businesses along the west side of Wiset Rd from the PPAO Muang Phuket School south of Chalong Circle to Saiyuan Rd.
Another step test at the Muang Thong Intersection in Wichit will be in effect from 9pm to 11pm on Thursday (July 20), affecting homes and businesses in Soi Gao-na, Soi Suwanna, Soi Saongem, Soi Thanit Turakij, Sakididet Rd, Soi Hokhuad and Moo Baan Netthathip.
