Power outage to affect water supply in Chalong, Kata, Karon, Rawai

PHUKET: The Phuket branch of the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) has announced that a power outage will affect the water production at Klong Kata Reservoir in Chalong on Monday (Feb 20), resulting in greatly reduced water pressure that will leave many areas across the south of the island with low water supply pressure, or no running water at all.
