Avoid wasting drinking water, reuse treated wastewater

Residents should use drinking water only for drinking and essential domestic needs. Avoid using it to wash vehicles and floors.

Households should also prevent water from overflowing from overhead tanks and sumps and promptly repair leaks.

Treated wastewater from sewage treatment plants (STPs) should be used for parks, gardens, landscaping, construction and industrial purposes. The Dial-A-Green Tanker service can help supply treated water for suitable non-drinking uses, reducing pressure on drinking water sources.
