I am Ike, a first-year student at the Singapore Institute of Technology, and I am part of a project group that is looking into improving water supply in HDB flats by proposing methods to reduce, if not eliminate, water disruptions affecting residents. As such, we are currently conducting research on the rooftop water storage tanks. As your team is in charge of estate improvement works in the district, we thought it would be best to achieve a better understanding of the water storage and supply situation in HDB flats by drawing upon your team's many years of experience.
Our enquiries are as follows:
- Do most HDB flats have only one water tank
on its rooftop to supply drinking water to residents? If so, do these
water tanks have several internal compartments to provide against water
supply interruptions?
- Are there any HDB flats which supply drinking
water using more than one tank?
- How often do water disruptions occur annually?
(Due to shutting off tanks for inspection, cleaning, maintenance etc.) - What is the average time taken for each of these
water disruptions to be resolved?
(Restoration of water supply to HDB residents) - What is the Town Council’s view on expenditure
towards water tank upgrading works?
(Priority level compared to other Town Council projects)
We would be grateful if you could assist us to answer some of these questions, as this will greatly aid our research. Many thanks and have a great week ahead!
Best regards,
