In the bustling city of Pattaya, where azure seas meet vibrant nightlife, Mayor Poramet Ngampichet strides forward as a beacon of proactivity in addressing the region’s water supply challenges. Recognizing the heartbeat of a city lies in its essential resources, Mayor Poramet rolls out an ambitious plan, comprising 12 pivotal projects designed to quench the thirst of both residents and thriving businesses.
At the heart of this endeavor lies transparency, a word often tossed around but less often realized. Determined to veer away from this cliché, Mayor Poramet ensures his administration and relevant agencies meticulously gather and analyze data on these dozen water projects. This key information will find its way straight to the doorstep of the Pattaya Waterworks Department, leading to a crystal-clear timeline for the public to see—unveiling each project like a tantalizing trailer for a blockbuster hit!
With the robust 2024 budget at its backbone but focusing on wrap-up within this very year, Pattaya’s plans are not just blueprints on paper—they are tangible promises to its people. Leading hotspots like Soi Khopai, Sukhumvit Pattaya, and Paniad Chang, much like stars in a constellation, are poised to glow brighter with investments ranging from a modest yet impactful 270,000 baht to a more hefty 700,000 baht per initiative.
Crucially, the expansions in Soi Sukhumvit Pattaya 63 and Soi South Pattaya 10/1 emerge as heavy hitters. These projects promise a robust water flow worthy of an epic, strategically meeting the burgeoning demand as Pattaya continues to stride forward in urban development. Of course, urban infrastructure is not just about long-term sprints; it’s about winning the immediate relay too.
On the paradisiacal shores of Koh Larn, water shortages tend to lead the narrative during the dry season. Enter a proposal as refreshing as a sea breeze—bulk purchasing water at a far more palatable 170 baht per tonne. It’s not just a splash of relief but a wave, lowering costs for island residents significantly. Fortifying this plan is the city’s intention to renew contracts with the East Water Company, a move akin to putting a turbo engine into water production, ensuring that Koh Larn’s water stock never runs dry in the days to come.
With a blend of grand-scale infrastructures and nimble, stop-gap solutions, Pattaya weaves a story filled with proactive measures to safeguard a sustainable pour of life-giving water for all its denizens and the countless visitors who make the city hum with life. Amidst the din of development, tourism, and growth, Pattaya stands firm, ensuring its promise to nurture and nourish its community is more than just words—it’s an oath sealed with action. As the sun continues to set on its stunning shores, the city’s future glistens as bright as its gleaming waterworks network poised to rise.
Mayor Poramet’s plan sounds great on paper, but I’m skeptical if it’ll really meet the need of all the residents.
I agree! They always promise transparency, but do we ever get to see these project timelines?
For real! We need more accountability. Until then, it’s just another political promise in my book.
Totally, I’ll keep an eye on this, but it’ll take more than words to convince me.
Finally someone is doing something about Koh Larn’s water issues! It’s always been a nightmare during the dry season.
Tell me about it! I’ve had to haul water myself back in the day. 170 baht per tonne sounds fantastic.
Right?! It’s about time something sustainable was done.
Investing that much money in projects is risky. What if they don’t pay off as expected?
True, but remember, we’re planning for the future. Sometimes risks need to be taken.
I hear you, but it better come with proper planning, or we’re just wasting resources.
Hope this doesn’t lead to more concrete jungle at the cost of natural landscapes. Balance is key.
Good point. Infrastructure can be sustainable if we prioritize green solutions.
It’s urbanization. We need roads, buildings, and yes, water supply too. Some trees will sacrifice, but the payoff is huge!
Sounds like funneling tax money into thin air, anyone else feels that way?
I got your back. We heard the song and dance before, right?
The time to act is now. Love seeing Pattaya taking serious initiatives for betterment.
Is it just me or does this plan sound like it was drafted by someone who’s never stepped foot on Koh Larn?
Water shortages have been a traditional problem. Impressed with the bulk purchase idea!
Hmm. It does sound alluring but I wonder if it’ll last long-term.
I think with good management it should work out, as long as we don’t overuse.
I hope they consider environmental impact in these water projects. Water is life, but so are nature and wildlife.
Good governance is about making bold decisions. Kudos for stepping up, Pattaya!
Yes, but are they really bold decisions if they don’t address the local community needs effectively?
Investing so little in certain areas seems like they might be sidelining less popular spots.
We should be supporting small-scale, decentralized water solutions too, not just big projects.
Transparency is nice, but good execution is better. Just saying.
This might finally turn around the public perception of water management here!
I feel like they’re just talking big numbers to make us feel good. Let’s see the action.
Can anyone confirm whether the East Water Company’s renewal, in fact, offers any real improvement?
