Find Out How NEWater is Made
You do know that a portion of the water you’re drinking comes from you-know-where, right? Visit the NEWater Visitor Centre to find out how they clean up the gunk and make it safe for drinking! Bet you won’t feel so grossed out after this little trip. It's a great education experience for families.
Here's what TSL member Denise Chia had to say about her experience:
I remember detesting NEWater just because of the fact that it is recycled water - I used to call it "bottled toilet water". Thinking it was dirty and unsanitary, I used to refuse to drink NEWater. That all changed after a school visit to the NEWater Visitor Centre.
We were given a short tour inside the gallery and we were taught, in detail, about the various processes the water goes through before it is bottled for us to drink. Needless to say, I was very surprised about the advanced technology and I then realised that NEWater is actually clean and safe for us to drink.
After the visit, I actually felt proud that Singapore managed to come up with such a beautiful and advanced piece of technology to counter our water shortage problem. I strongly recommend every Singaporean to visit this place at least once, especially those who have misconceptions about NEWater.
