\nSingapore\u2019s Public Utilities Board (PUB) announced on Wednesday (18 July) that it has ordered the management of the 47-unit Nicon Gardens in 65K Choa Chu Kang Road to pay a $2,000 fine for failing to fix a leaking pipe there in a timely manner.
\nIn the evening of 28 June, the agency was informed that there was a water leakage at the 99-year leasehold condominium in District 23 next to the Phoenix LRT Station. It immediately sent officers and found out that an underground service pipe was leaking within the compound.
\nGive that the responsibility to fix this falls on the condo\u2019s management, PUB immediately instructed them to address the leak. To facilitate quick repairs, they were given a list of licensed plumbers to hire.
\nBut after two days, the condo management still failed to comply despite repeated reminders to expedite the repairs. In fact, the agency issued a total of three notices to quickly fix the problem from 29 June to 2 July, when the leak was finally resolved.
\nBut because it took four days to address the leak, around 4,000 m3 of water was wasted.This is equivalent to one and half Olympic-sized swimming pool or four times the average water consumption of Nicon Gardens per month.
\n\u201cWe find such deliberate water wastage unacceptable. Water is a precious resource in Singapore and everybody must do his part to conserve it,\u201d said Ridzuan Ismail, director of water supply (network) department at PUB.
\nFailure to follow a PUB notice to fix a water service installation is an offence under section 15(3) of the Public Utilities (Water Supply) Regulations. As this is the first offence, the management of Nicon Gardens was fined $2,000. The maximum penalty for this offence is a fine of not more than $10,000 and\/or imprisonment for up to one year.
