MANAGING WATER DEMAND
In addition to increasing supply, Mr Chan urged Singapore households and businesses to manage their demand for a water-resilient future.
Household water consumption averaged 141 litres per capita per day in 2025, down slightly from 142 litres in 2024, PUB said.
But sustained hybrid working arrangements, rising temperatures and smaller household sizes continue to place upward pressure on per capita household consumption, the water agency added.
“This highlights the need for continued water-saving efforts at home, alongside stronger emphasis on improving water efficiency in the non-domestic sector, where future demand growth is expected,” PUB said.
