Thepkrasattri, Srisoonthorn, Pa Khlok, Cherng Talay. Koh Kaew and Rassada are all to be affected by the water supply outage, from 9am to 4:30pm, noted the announcement.

Power outages by the PEA are the reason for the water supply shortages and will cause water pressure to be low or completely shut off during this time.

People affected are urged to collect any water they may require beforehand. It is expected that the water may have some sludge and discolouration after the repairs.

“We will complete the works as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience,” the PWA statement said.
