The outage, from 10am to 6pm, is necessary while workers install a “PRV system at DMA14-01-01” in Baan Ton Thai, PWA said in its announcement.
“Therefore it is necessary to stop distributing water on the specified date and time,” the announcement read.
The areas listed to be affected by the water supply outage were given as Pearl Circle Intersection, Soi Mooban Premthap, Soi Rongbapt, Phra Mettha Rd, Rath-U-Thit 200 Pi Rd, Prachanukroh Rd and Thaweewong Rd (the beach road).
The PWA urged residents and businesses to store water in advance of the outage.
People in the area can expect “weak to no flowing water area” during the outage, the PWA warned.
The PWA also warned that water may appear cloudy or contain sediment after supply has been restored.
The work was described as necessary “to improve the water supply system, improve service quality”.
“The PWA Phuket Branch will proceed as soon as possible… We apologise for the inconvenience,” the PWA said.
