The government will ramp up infrastructure to cater to create a self-sufficient and sustainable environment, which will be through projects such as the second phase of the Deep Tunnel Sewarage System, and the second desalination plant in Tuas.
Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan shared these details in his Ministry’s Committee of Supply debate speech on Tuesday.
The first phase of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System was completed in 2008. The 48-kilometre (km) “superhighway for used water” comprises a network of tunnels, link sewers and pipes from Kranji to Changi, with a centralised water reclamation plant in Changi.
In Parliament, Dr Balakrishnan announced that work on Phase two of the system would begin soon.
