Community Service - Visit to NEWater

Last Friday, we brought the residents to the NEWater Visitor Centre. It was a first time for me.

When we were at the Home, the residents were already waiting eagerly for us.

As the weather wasn't looking too good, we had to get everyone on the bus quickly.

Once we reached the NEWater Visitor Centre, it started to rain cats and dogs.

Our friendly volunteers all too turns sheltering the residents from the rain, which was pouring in from all directions due to the strong winds.

Afterwhich, everyone waited patiently for their turn in the lobby, to take the lift up to the second level where the mini-auditorium was.

One of the residents taking a look around while waiting for the lift.

This was our friendly and bubbly guide for the day. We are now outside the mini-auditorium.

Everyone getting a nice seat for the show, which was about the importance of water in Singapore.

Second stop of the tour - Our guide explaining to us the 4 'taps' from which Singapore gets her water - Local catchment, Imported, NEWater and Desalinated.

Then it was off to the displays where our volunteers brought the residents around to look at the various displays.

Hmmmm, I wonder what are they so engrossed in ?

Disco anyone ?

The last part of the tour was where we were given an insight into how the water is treated through the 4 different stages.
