PUB to shut down water pipeline along Tampines Expressway

The agency assured water supply will not be affected during the network enhancement works.

PUB will be shutting down a pipeline which supplies water to customers residing in Tampines, Pasir Ris, Loyang/Changi, and parts of Bedok. The water pipeline along Tampines Expressway will be non-operational from 23 to 26 April 2012. Water supply, according to PUB, will not be affected as water will be supplied through an alternative source.

The works will involve emptying the water pipeline to facilitate the installation of new flow meters which can provide real time information on the amount of water flowing through the pipe. PUB said this will enhance monitoring and management of the water supply network, as well as facilitate operational planning and forecasting.

“When the works are completed and the pipeline is being filled up, tiny air bubbles may form in the water due to the change in water pressure, hence creating a milky appearance when the water is collected from taps. The water will become clear when left to stand for a few minutes – a phenomenon similar to fizzy canned drinks,” said PUB. Meanwhile the national water agency assures all customers that the air bubbles do not affect water quality and the water remains safe for drinking.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
