Precious water

For the past few nights, an observant resident has been reporting that the tap at Deck 1B of car park 787A was leaking every time he was on his way home after parking his car. Each time, we would arrange for a Town Council worker to turn off the tap, but the next day, the tap would be left running again.

The thing is, this was no ordinary tap; it required a pair of pliers to be turned on. It seems that someone had used some tools to turn on the tap to take water, but did not have the courtesy to turn off the tap tightly. Today the tap has been replaced with a locked one to ensure it is not being misused again.

We should all appreciate the scarce water resources in Singapore and not waste precious water, especially with the hot weather these days. And please be advised not to take water from common areas for personal use.
