SINGAPORE: To help needy residents defray part of their utility bills, a new Water Voucher Scheme was introduced in the South West district on Tuesday.

The scheme will provide low-income families with water-saving tips and water-saving devices in their homes. Beneficiaries can expect to reduce their monthly water consumption by approximately 5 per cent.

The Water Voucher Scheme complements the existing Power Up @ South West Scheme, which provides needy residents with vouchers to help them manage their electricity bills.

A total of S$70,000 has been set aside for the two schemes, which aim to help some 900 families. The schemes will remain in place until March next year.

what r they talking about? water is essential, everybody needs water regardless of income tier. water is a given across all 1st world countries, and practically free. the cost should be borne & heavily subsidized, and shouldnt be transferred to the citizens to bear.

why is it only the south-west CDC? why is it not island-wide? do they mean to say that only ppl in the south-west r needy, while ppl in all other sectors r well to do?

wanna defray, then lower the cost.

Na beh, always use this tactic.

Up the cost by being useless and incompetent and then give out voucher to act kind and good but actually hiding their incompetence.
