Residents at Flame Tree Park Deal with Discoloured Water Due to Pipe Leak

Residents of the Flame Tree Park condominium in Sin Ming faced an unexpected issue on January 1st, when discoloured water began to flow from their taps, following a nearby pipe leak. This situation raised concerns for many, but local authorities quickly stepped in to resolve the issue.

Swift Response to the Leak

The National water agency, PUB, was made aware of the pipe leak around 9 AM at the intersection of Sin Ming Avenue and Upper Thomson Road. In response, they immediately dispatched a service crew to identify the source of the leak and kick off necessary repairs.

PUB reassured the community that despite the leak, the water supply for homes and businesses in the area remained unaffected. The change in water coloration that residents noticed was likely due to disturbed mineral sediments in the pipe network caused by the leak.

Ongoing Repair Efforts

Repair work is currently underway and is anticipated to wrap up by Friday, according to PUB. To alleviate the inconvenience for residents, the agency has deployed a water wagon to the condominium and supplied water bags to those impacted.

Additionally, the managing agent of Flame Tree Park has taken proactive steps by flushing the condominium’s water pipes and tanks to ensure the quality of water. As investigations continue, PUB is focused on determining the root cause of the leak.

Conclusion

The incident at Flame Tree Park highlights the importance of prompt action in maintaining water quality and supply in urban areas. With ongoing repairs and support for residents, the situation is being effectively managed.
