Mee Toh School principal Wang-Tan Sun Sun and SBS Plan and Project Department's Chua Eng Kian receiving the Singapore Watermark Award and the Water Efficiency Award , respectively.For SBS Transit, the answer was simple: Recycle it, by using underground tanks at the bus depots and separating the water from oil and sludge to make it clean so it can be used again to wash more buses.
The new measures are part of a bus washing efficiency project by SBS Transit and are integrated into the SBS’s Automatic Bus Washing Systems at the two depots. Apart from the Water Efficiency Awards , PUB also presented the Water Efficiency Awards and the Singapore Watermark Awards on March 26. “Whether you are a business owner, a consumer or environmental advocate, we all have a role to play in ensuring the sustainable use of water,” she added.
Taking inspiration from school attendants who cleaned the floors using rainwater collected in the school’s rainwater collection tanks, the pupils invented a device that utilises rainwater to clean recyclables. Separately, Mee Toh School’s operations and support staff also conduct daily checks of the water meter readings in the school to detect underground water pipe leakages so that timely intervention can be taken to minimise water wastage.
