Eastern drought to be eased by 36km water pipeline

The project is a collaboration between the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, East Water, the Royal Irrigation Department, Provincial Waterworks Authority, and general citizens, he added.
The 36.2km-long EEC water pipe network will be divided into three sections.
The first will run from Phan Thong water treatment plant to Phan Thong water station (10.5km) in Chonburi, the second from the station to the water booster-pressure station (9.8km), and the third from the booster station to the Well Grow Industrial Estate (15.9km) in Bang Pakong District, Chachoengsao.
Pipe-laying for the network will be finished by the end of this June, Somkiat said.
