The Phuket branch of the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) has announced a water supply outage for tomorrow, March 21, affecting large parts of Patong. The outage will occur from 10am to 6pm while workers install a new PRV system at DMA14-01-01 in Baan Ton Thai.
In its official announcement, the PWA stated, “Therefore it is necessary to stop distributing water on the specified date and time.”
The following areas will be affected by the water outage:

The PWA has urged residents and businesses to store water in advance before the disruption begins. During the outage, people in these areas can expect “weak to no flowing water” and are advised to prepare accordingly.
