Corridors of Punggol block flooded for 2nd time in 2 weeks

SINGAPORE - Corridors of a Punggol Emerald block were flooded due to a leak from the pump room on Saturday.

The incident was reported to citizen journalism website Stomp by a resident who wanted to be known only as Megumi.

She wondered why it occurred as the pipes should be new, considering the building is a new Build-to-Order (BTO) block in the estate.

She said: "Since the pipes are brand new, they should not wear and tear during the first year of our stay here."

Earlier this week, Stomp received a report about a similar incident that also occurred in a BTO block in the same estate.

It happened at around 3.30am on Aug 25 after a water pipe burst.
