Fish monitoring system, daily testing: How PUB maintains Singapore’s top water standards

DAILY Tests OF WATER Examples

PUB collects and tests samples regular from places like casing board estates to make sure water stays fresh when it gets to homes.

Building proprietors and community councils are required to work with licensed plumbers to carry out monthly inspections, washing, and documentation in order to make sure that top storage tanks in their buildings are correctly looked after.

According to Ms. Yunita Tan, public director of Lower Seletar Waterworks,” It’s important for us to make sure these top water storage tanks are correctly maintained and kept in good condition.”

After PUB collects water examples, these are sent to the company’s water quality labs where scientists check for indicators like ph or the acidity levels, nitrogen, and bacteria or E. coli levels, among others.

Every year, more than 500 000 tests are put together using technology to increase data reliability. These identify any potential problems affecting the region’s water source.
