\nEligible households can get their non-water efficient nine-litre water closets replaced for free, helping them save water and reduce their water bill.
\nTo help residents of older HDB flats save water and lower their water bill, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) will provide eligible families with new water-efficient water closets for free, as part of a three-year project.
\nThis comes as HDB flats built between 1986 and 1992 are fitted with non-water efficient nine-litre water closets, which were discontinued way back in 1992.
\nWith the new water closets, households can save up to five litres of water per flush, effectively lowering their water bills by up to 10 percent.
\nMichael Toh, the PUB\u2019s Director of Water Supply (Network), noted that nine-litre water closets use almost twice the amount of water compared to water-efficient water closets.
\n\u201cWater is precious and every drop of water counts. Toilet flushing, and washing in the kitchen sink and basin sink make up almost half of a household\u2019s daily water use. We hope that helping these families replace their non-water efficient water closets and taps will help them save water and reduce their water bills by as much as 10 percent.\u201d
\nBeginning this month, the PUB will progressively inform residents covered by the project \u2013 starting with 5,700 households living in three-room HDB flats.
\nSuch households can then contact the PUB or its appointed contractor to arrange for a replacement of their water closet.
\nThe second phase of the project will commence in October for the remaining eligible HDB flats.
