Water supply disruption in Bukit Batok after pipe burst

“Residents and shopkeepers of these units please be assured we will do our best to help,” he added.

In the media reply, a town council spokesperson said it immediately isolated the affected pipe and restored water supply to the home after it was alerted to the incident.

The spokesperson added that the town council also installed a temporary surface pipe to restore supply to the commercial units, which were not operating at the time.
  
Preliminary investigations showed that the disruption was due to a burst underground pipe, and Pillai had also visited the affected home to check on the resident’s well-being and offer assistance, according to the spokesperson.

Repairs are expected to be completed over the next two to three days, and businesses will be told in advance if water supply would be temporarily disrupted for the repairs.

“The town council understands the inconvenience that can arise from such disruptions and is treating the matter with urgency,” the spokesperson said, adding that it would monitor the situation closely to minimise the risk of further disruption.
