S'pore to hand over 4 water plants to Johor

S'pore to hand over 4 water plants to Johor

JOHOR BARU - The expiry of the 50-year tenure of the 1961 Water Agreement between Johor and Singapore will see the republic's Public Utilities Board (PUB) handing over four water facilities to the state government on Aug 31.

State Economic Affairs deputy director Mohd Noor Azam Osman told a press briefing here on Friday that Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry deputy secretary-general (Energy) Loo Took Gee would be at the Gunung Pulai treatment plant, located 2.5km from the Pontian junction, for the handover ceremony.
The Sultan of Johor, Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman, state secretary Datuk Abdul Latif Yusof and all state executive councillors will be there along with Singapore's Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan and Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education, Grace Fu, and PUB officials.

The four waterworks and facilities comprise the Skudai water treatment plant, Gunung Pulai water treatment plant, Pontian pump house and Tebrau pump house.

The 1961 Water Agreement was signed between the Johor government and Singapore city council before it was taken over by the PUB, a statutory board of the Environment and Water Resources Ministry. The agreement was signed during the British colonial rule.

Under the agreement, Johor sells raw water to Singapore at three sen (S$0.01) per 1,000 gallons and buys the treated water from the republic at 50 sen per 1,000 gallons.


So what will happen with a decrease in 4 water plants? Our EcoloBlue 30s Atmospheric Water Generator can help. No expiry date. Generate Water for life. Contact us for more info.

What is in your drinking water?

Taken from here :

"The quality of our drinking water is extremely important to our health because our body is made up of more than 70% water. If our body is forced to filter out chlorine and other toxic chemicals then not only will our body's ability to carry out toxins be compromised but we also put unnecessary stress on our liver and kidneys that have to work much harder to detoxify our bodies. Overtime, an excess of toxic chemicals can damage or destroy these precious filtering organs.

Water contamination causes are varied. We need to realize that everything that goes down our drains, on our lawns, on our agricultural fields or into the environment can wind up in the water we drink. Chemicals such as chlorine, lead, herbicides, pesticides and a host of other contaminants is commonly found in our water supplies, and in many bottled waters. These trace levels of water-borne chemicals have been documented to have adverse health effects on humans, and especially on small children.

It is important for the public to realize the extent or impact of these low level, synthetic chemicals in our water supplies. While the standard use in our society of over 80,000 different synthetic chemicals has led to added convenience and productivity in our lives, these come at a tremendous price... drastic increases in degenerative disease and other serious health conditions.

Bottled water can give no assurance of pure and healthy water either because there are no government standards that require bottled water to be any better quality than tap water. In March of 1999, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a report called "Bottled Water, Pure Drink or Pure Hype?" This report points out that that 60% to 70% of all bottled water is completely exempt from the FDA's bottled water standards, because it is bottled and sold within the same state. Unless the water is transported across state lines, there are no federal regulations that govern its quality. This is quite alarming.

According to Eric Olsen, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, "The realization that bottled water is seldom of higher quality than tap water has caused a major shift in public opinion." It causes millions of plastic bottles to be manufactured, transported and then disposed of in U.S. landfills, it's killing our planet, and for no good reason..."

So how can we be sure our drinking and bathing water is pure and free of toxins? I believe that a quality home water treatment appliance is the best investment we can make for the health of our families. The quality of the water, including scientific proof that it actually removes the toxic chemicals should be the determining factor of which water purification and filtration system is best.

I believe our household water should be pure and pristine, free of chemicals, like it was before the influences of our modern civilization. I also believe it is important that we don't filter out the natural trace minerals that our important to our health. I have researched many types of water filtration and purification systems and the determining factor for me was finding a system that removes the chemicals and toxins from the water. They also had to be able to prove to me the quality of their filtration process with scientific testing results instead of marketing hype.

The Third Thing that makes water

"Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is" ~ D. H. Lawrence

"When the well's dry, we know the worth of water."
  ~ Benjamin Franklin, (1706-1790), Poor Richard's Almanac.
"Civilization has historically flourished around rivers and major waterways; Mesopotamia, the so-called cradle of civilization, was situated between the major rivers Tigris and Euphrates; the ancient society of the Egyptians depended entirely upon the Nile. Large metropolises like Rotterdam, London, Montreal, Paris, New York City, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Tokyo, Chicago, and Hong Kong owe their success in part to their easy accessibility via water and the resultant expansion of trade. Islands with safe water ports, like Singapore, have flourished for the same reason. In places such as North Africa and the Middle East, where water is more scarce, access to clean drinking water was and is a major factor in human development." ~ WikiPedia

So what is the third thing that makes water, water? Is it the covalent bonds between the atoms? Water can exist in 3 different stages - Solid, Liquid, Gaseous. 97% of water on Earth are from Oceans and Seas. Only 3% are fresh water. Within our atmosphere, there are water vapors that result the humidity level. Singapore has a high humidity level, which means we have a lot of water vapors in the air.

Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) from EcoloBlue generate water from our thin air. The cost of the water produce is only 0.5 cents (S$0.05) per liters of per water. This will be our option for our future drinking water.

iTORTLE has partnered with EcoloBlue to bring Singapore the only system in the market that can produce not only pure water from thin air, BUT also sparkling/carbonated water! It is the only touch-screen system so far in the market.
