BabyBlade Internal Moderator January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 SINGAPORE - Food and beverage outlets at Changi Airport's Terminal 3 (T3) had to halt sales of drinks and soup on Thursday due to issues with the tap water. F&B operators found light brown water flowing out of their taps at about 3pm, and it only started to run clear after 5pm, Lianhe Zaobao reported. But most did not resume sale of drinks and soup even then. The issue had still not been fully resolved by 11pm on Thursday, Zaobao said. This is believed to be the first time there has been an issue with the water supply at the terminal. The airport advised operators and visitors not to drink the water, use it to prepare food, or for cleaning. Changi Airport Group (CAG) distributed bottled water to affected food outlets, employees and airport visitors. F&B operators also turned on their taps so that the brownish water could flow out, as instructed by the authorities. One cafe had put up a sign which read "No Tea, Coffee". Staff at the cafe said they were serving only toast, but the airport had provided bottled water for patrons. There were also signs in T3's toilets reminding visitors not to drink the tap water. Cleaners told visitors to drink the bottled water provided by the airport, which were placed by the sinks. National water agency PUB received a request from CAG at about 7pm on Thursday to provide a temporary water supply, and to check T3's water quality. PUB sent a water wagon to the terminal, and is assisting CAG with water quality tests. Meanwhile, the quality of incoming water supply from the PUB mains was found to be satisfactory. A spokesman from CAG said they will confirm if the water is potable after clear water supply is resumed. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/brownish-tap-water-changi-airport-terminal-3-fb-outlets-#xtor=CS1-10 ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celicar Turbocharged January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 If it is only T3 and not whole Changi/East area (not even T1 and T2), then seems like problem is contained or, in official speak, is "an isolated incident". 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Why no coffee and tea? If it is light brown, they can sell it as coffee 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Light brown water may be just sediment. Try this at your home. 1. Turn off the mains water supply. 2. Leave one tap on to drain whatever water is left in the pipes. 3. Close that tap. 4. Turn on main water supply. Water pressure will build up. 5. Open one tap and see brown water shooting out. 6. Open other taps one at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
