What Happens to Singapore’s Sewage? | Our Water Journey

In Singapore, we hardly think about sewage once we wash our dishes or flush our waste down the toilet. But where does it actually go, how does it get there, and what happens to it?
These four PUB staff tell us how an entire team works behind the scenes to keep our intricate sewer system working smoothly. Dealing with wastewater and fixing sewage pipes might not be glamorous, but these are necessary roles to keep our country (and bowel movements) going.
In the last of this three-part series discovering Singapore's water journey, we find out what it takes to ensure good sanitation for our entire nation and reuse every drop endlessly.

Thanks for all these productions; the quality is really good and we learn more about the country we love. Maybe do something about our local forests!

[@iamjaydee4621]

I wish we have that kind of system in my own country and of course all over the world. we can save a lot of water and we can save the future of the next generation.

[@darryl5360]

I really love OGS

[@karebu2]

I wish they could elaborate on how waste is treated

[@Zinnia2023]

👏👏👏👏👏 beautiful and very interesting presentation! Kept me amused from start to end!!!!
Maybe you can come up with "How Singapore dispose of food waste?" Also, "how does Singapore control business & industrial waste? "
Does your school system include waste segregation as part of the educational program?

[@T3XTon3s]

[@emptyangel]

It's a nasty business for the team, somehow, they managed to do it well, so the country can keep going without filth. 😉😉Be grateful to these unsung hero living among us, they not only did their job , they done it well so you can live comfortably without stinky smell from your sewages.

[@thegamechanger7157]

It's practically engineering designs it's about following the methods and design requirements.

[@sakthighiri4273]

Great Job 👏

[@rebeccalob]

it's such a small country that's why but nevertheless, great job to the gov and pub!

[@kaister901]

Every one that has been through field camp in NS knows to appreciate toilets in Singapore. Digging a hole to poop in and then burying your own poop in the middle of a jungle while mosquitoes attack you, makes you appreciate toilets for the rest of your life.

[@ariaantoroatang7720]

That is why PM Lee Kwan Yew is the father of Singapore..

[@hillmanhung3846]

Just watched a documentary in rural America where they had a problem with pig poop water. They don't have any good way to dispose of it, and it's causing environmental problems.
They could in theory build a whole sewage system, but it seems that it isn't profitable to build and run yet, so the problem is still there.
I'm imagining that they might be able to just truck it to a treatment plant and process it into fertiliser and natural gas, but then the people working there would probably be on less than minimum wage for awhile due to business not taking off yet.
Also makes me realise how Singapore is literally carried by our previous generations who settled these problems for us, and maybe in the future we would have to do the same. Cause like the example in the previous paragrah, the first solution to a new problem will be really unprofitable and the people working to solve the problem will be paid really little until they find a good solution.

Why sewer tunnel as big MRT tunnel? Did all daily waste water fill whole tunnel?

[@sdnalyam]

Singapore has achieved so much but it must be careful Not to get complacent like what has happened to all Western countries.

[@boyan619]

that is how the NEWater come about

[@lleetuason]

I cannot imagine how the sewerage in my country works.
