Half of Singapore’s water supply today continues to be delivered from across the Causeway. With Singapore’s water demand set to double by 2060, our water future and resilience will depend heavily on our ability to reuse every drop of water endlessly, as well as tapping on seawater through desalination, to ensure that Singaporeans never go thirsty. This report summarises the key achievements and highlights of 2018 in PUB, in our mission to supply good water, reclaim used water, and tame storm water. 8 9 Strengthening Taming Storm Water Drainage improvement works at 32 locations were completed Water Supply in 2018. Works are ongoing at another 69 locations. Three key drainage projects were completed in 2018/2019: the Stamford Diversion Canal, the Stamford Detention Tank and the Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal. TUAS DESALINATION PLANT Singapore’s third desalination plant at Tuas was opened in June 2018, and is the first desalination plant owned and operated by PUB. It is also the first desalination plant in Singapore to combine dissolved air flotation with ultrafiltration pre-treatment processes to treat seawater, extending the lifespan of the treatment membranes in the process. Tuas Desalination Plant was named Desalination Plant of the Year at the Global Water Awards 2019. Reclaiming Used Water STAMFORD DIVERSION CANAL & STAMFORD DETENTION TANK Completed in September 2018, the Stamford Diversion Canal, coupled with the Stamford Detention Tank, forms part of PUB’s holistic “source-pathway-receptor” approach to strengthen flood protection in the Stamford Canal Catchment, which includes Orchard Road. The 2km-long canal runs underground from Tanglin to the Singapore River. The 6-14 m canal channels storm water from the upstream section of the catchment to the Singapore River, and eventually into Marina Reservoir. The Stamford Detention Tank project, built beneath a Singapore Botanical Garden’s nursery and coach park, can temporarily store up to 15 Olympic-sized pools of excess storm water from the drains in Holland Road, which is upstream of the Stamford Canal. The water will be pumped back into the drains for subsequent discharge after heavy rains subside. BUKIT TIMAH FIRST DIVERSION CANAL The Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal expansion project, completed in March 2019, enhances flood protection for the Upper Bukit Timah Catchment, which includes places like the Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Beauty World Plaza, Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and Sime Darby Centre. INCREASED TREATMENT CAPACITY AT JURONG WATER RECLAMATION PLANT The Phase 4 Expansion of Jurong WRP was completed in December 2018, increasing its treatment capacity from 45 to 57 million gallons per day (mgd). The expansion also included the installation of a thermal hydrolysis facility which will reduce cost by producing less sludge and more biogas for energy recovery. COMPLETION OF WET WEATHER FACILITY AT CHANGI WATER RECLAMATION PLANT A wet weather facility at Changi WRP was completed in May 2019 to handle excess flow during periods of heavy rainfall. This 44mgd wet weather facility will improve the operational reliability of the plant to produce NEWater. 10 11 Managing Water Demand and Costs PUB is constantly promoting the use of water-efficient home appliances and using behavioural insights to boost water savings. SMART SHOWER PROGRAMME BEST PRACTICES GUIDES PUB’s Smart Shower Programme aims to study and validate Using data from WEMPs and information from industry, the effect of smart showering devices in conserving water PUB developed water efficiency benchmarks and published Water Consumption: Wash Programme: during showers. An earlier trial conducted in 2015 showed the “Best Practice Guide in Water Efficiency–Buildings” in Type of Product: Brand: that households could potentially save five litres of water March 2018. ”Best Practice Guides” for the wafer fabrication Model: Registration No.: per person per day, which translates to approximately 3% and semiconductor sector, and the refineries, petrochemicals of their monthly water usage. and chemicals sector were subsequently released
