Singapore Water Rationing Exercise

[Mustank]

The last island-wide revision of car parking charges by HDB and URA was done 14 years ago in 2002.

 

Singapore last raised water tariffs 17 years ago.

 

What's next? GST? the GST rate was raised to 7% on 1 July 2007.

Please queue up ah

That's for next year

Then all the swimming pool should also convert to seawater pool.   Learnt from HGTV. The angmos prefer saltwater swimming pool. 

 

 

I remember there was a saltwater public pool in SG while I was young... Think it may be Fort Canning or Tanjung Rhu.

 

Somehow the recall is not as vibrantly coloured.. probably due to lots of mature trees providing shade

For Singapore, I want to believe we do have enough if we manage our storm water storage. Deeper and more rivers and lake to beautify the island. More underground storage tanks or even make it a feature for new buildings.

 

We should ensure all water features and pools track water consumption. With more condos, the wastage is very high.

 

Key would be education from young. This is very weak in my opinion.

I think I am using 10cbm lesser water per month with the new washing machine

 

I have this at home. I think it is wise to keep some in the store room
