For weeks, observers have noticed the pollution tainting large
swathes of two rivers that flow through the club grounds and empty
into the nearby Seletar freshwater catchment area.
'The water is completely polluted with orange sediment,' said
one observer, who declined to be named.
The problem: Silt is leaking from massive construction works in
the area, where a major aerospace hub is being developed.
Since last year, national water agency PUB has conducted spot
checks and identified about 10 construction sites scattered around
the 300ha space from which silt is flowing into public drains. The
concern is that contaminants in the rivers could spill into the
nearby Seletar reservoir.
