Pipe work begins on wastewater treatment system

PHUKET TOWN: Traffic on Mae Luan Road is likely to be disrupted for about three months from next Monday (May 17) as pipe-laying work begins on the second phase of Phuket Town’s sewerage system. The excavations will extend from the offices of Phuket Prevention Guard Co to the junction with Wichit Songkram Road. Phase 1 of the project, which involved laying pipes to collect sewage from four square kilometers of the town and deliver it to the town’s waste water treatment plant, was completed early last year. Phase 2 will cover a further eight square kilometers. Pipe-laying work is to be carried out by Bangkok Motor Equipment Co Ltd for the Phuket Town Municipal Office and the Public Works Department.
