After Jamban water, PAP make us drink TIRE WATER!
The water discharged from ASIA's LARGEST (larger than PRC's & Japs) tire plant will be recycled via the tiny distance of sea to Tuas desalination plants!
Jurong is where our cleanest water compared against Toilet Water Sai Chwee - the desalination plants in Tuas came from:

Tuas Seawater Desalination Plant - Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO), Singapore
Completed some three months ahead of schedule, Singapore's first desalination plant – the largest of its kind in Asia – ranks among the most energy efficient ever constructed, enabling it to achieve the lowest desalinated seawater price in the world. Opened in September 2005, within its first year of operation the plant has won a distinction in the 2006 Global Water Awards and two of the companies involved have gained industry honours for their work on the project.
At 110,000m3/day, the Tuas seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant has sufficient capacity to meet around 10% of the national demand - and at a price which challenges the notion that desalination is a high-cost option. Based on a pre-defined formula, the water sale price varies monthly with prevailing fuel cost and annually with inflation. The initial tender figure was $0.78/m3 for 2005; in practice the plant's efficiency has meant that the actual first year selling price approaches half that.

Ground breaking for Lanxess' new Butyl Rubber Plant in S'pore
SINGAPORE: Lanxess will set aside up to 15 per cent of its total investment of its new butyl rubber plant in Singapore for environmental protection projects.
The world's largest synthetic rubber manufacturer announced this when it broke ground for its 400 million euros (US$492.7 million) plant on Jurong Island on Monday.
This is the firm's largest investment globally in five years.
Lanxess said its plant, occupying an area of 200,000 square metres or 26 soccer fields, will install technology to protect the environment.
Such technology will enable the firm to manufacture butyl rubber here using significantly less energy.
The facility will also produce half as much liquid discharge compared to conventional plants.
The plant will start production in the first quarter of 2013.
It'll produce 100,000 metric tons of butyl rubber annually.
Butyl rubber is used mainly for tyre inner liners to prevent air from escaping.
"As more people in this region are buying cars, more green mobility is required, in terms of less fuel consumption (which) means less greenhouse gas emissions. We have developed products to allow a car to use far less fuel, and there's a strong demand in this region," said Dr Axel Heitmann, chairman & CEO of Lanxess.
Singapore's Trade and Industry Minister said the new investments will help the republic grow the specialty chemical sector.
"Last year, this sector contributed more than half of the chemical cluster's total value-added. It is a key sector that will be instrumental in moving the chemical industry higher up the value chain," said Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang.
Lanxess said the new butyl plant in Singapore will be the world's first since year 2000. - CNA/vm/ls
