PUB investigating after some Bedok Reservoir residents notice brown water running from taps


SINGAPORE – Some residents at a Bedok Reservoir HDB block were greeted by murky brown liquid when they turned on their taps a few days ago, sparking concerns over the safety of their water supply.

National water agency PUB said it was alerted to the incident at Block 611 Bedok Reservoir Road on June 16, following feedback from an affected resident.

PUB and the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, which manages the HDB district, conducted a joint inspection at the resident’s unit at 5.30pm that day.

“We performed flushing at her unit, as well as two other affected units on the same level. Checks on water samples from PUB water mains confirmed no abnormality in the water quality,” PUB said.

The town council also flushed affected internal water service pipes, which cleared the discolouration.

PUB is working with the town council and residents to investigate the cause of the incident.
