the water network system of singapore is very clean, not only
the water..
u may say "the pipes not clean.. so i boilw ater first.."
every year, PUB will shut down different sections of the pipes and
re-route the water supply to different pipes.. so that water supply
can still go to ur house..
during this re-routing process, cleansing chemicals mixed with
newater will be flushed down the pipes to clean them..
the chemicals contain certain things to prevent rust and watever
bacteria to grow.. (pipes are rust proof but those are prevention
methods)...
after cleaning the pipes 2 times.. high pressure water will be
pumped to clean the pipes..
they use newater for these flushing in order to save cost and
precious water.. (anyway.. for those who work in industrial
estates, ur water from the tap is also from newater.. lol.. happy
drinking from water cooler or haf nice coffee ;p)
this cleaning process takes 1-2yrs to complete and then the cycle
repeats again..
anyway....... ya lar....... chao chee *** water so expensive to
serve meh.. that time i was at grand copthorne hotel........ the
pontini.. (i think that's how u spell)....... $15 for 1.5l of
water........... nb day light robbery... we had a big table.. so 5
bottles of water....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
