The Changi Water Reclamation Plant, the heart of the first phase of the DTSS, was opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in June 2009. [63] The first phase of the DTSS consists of a 48-km long deep tunnel sewer that runs 20 to 55 metres below ground, and channels used water to the Changi Water Reclamation Plant at the Eastern end of the island.
Used water is collected through a sewerage system and treated at water reclamation plants in the reclamation process. The water is purified using NEWater technology to produce NEWater. With the development of the deep tunnel sewerage system (DTSS) aimed for completion in 2022, [10] sewage will be conveniently transported to three water ...
A team of government employees intently monitors the water, which will be collected and purified for use by the country's six million residents. “We make use of real-time data to manage the ...
These include desalination and water reclamation aimed to meet at least 25 per cent of Singapore's water needs by 2012.
