Homes and businesses affected after water pipe bursts in Clementi

SINGAPORE: A water pipe that burst overnight in Clementi affected several homes and businesses in the neighbourhood on Monday (Nov 25).
The incident happened next to Block 324 Clementi Avenue 5 and “urgent repairs” are ongoing, said Jurong GRC MP Tan Wu Meng.
National water agency PUB, the Land Transport Authority and the Jurong-Clementi Town Council are assisting the affected residents, he said in a Facebook post. 
In a comment to that post, Facebook user Nazree Nazzeer said he reported the matter via the essential maintenance service unit hotline at about 1.15am.
“I was the only one at the void deck as I’m sure most residents are sound asleep and had no clue what had happened,” he said.
Mr Tan visited the site on Monday morning, where he met representatives of the agencies and residents.  
“If you know anyone in Clementi who needs help, please telephone Clementi CC at 6776 1670, or you can email me directly at Dr.Tan.W.M [at] gmail.com,” he wrote.  
A video posted by Mr Tan shows the block’s surrounding walkways flooded with murky water.
Checks by CNA on Monday afternoon found that the burst pipe was within an LTA work site.
Plastic boxes containing 5-litre bags of PUB drinking water were also seen at the void deck. 
Two residents who wanted to remain anonymous picked up two bags of water at about 3pm and confirmed that there was no water in their homes.
The incident comes after a PUB underground pipe burst at Block 705 and Block 725 of Clementi West Street 2 on Sunday morning.
Residents from levels two to five of the blocks were affected and void deck wash area taps were turned on for those who needed access to water, said the West Coast Town Council in a Facebook post on Sunday morning. 
In an update at around 4.15pm on Sunday, it said the pipe for Block 705 had been repaired.
