SINGAPORE - Water-efficient equipment such as commercial dishwashers will soon carry a green label, in an effort to help businesses such as hotels and restaurants, conserve water. This is the latest move in Singapore's push to ensure that taps here do not run dry for future generations.
On Friday, a record 30 landmarks and buildings, including the National Gallery Singapore and Gardens by the Bay, were lit up in blue to support water conservation. Part of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park was also enveloped in blue - the first time a park is participating in the light-up since it was introduced in 2014. The Singapore chancery in New York, which houses the Permanent Mission of Singapore to the United Nations, has also been lit up in blue since March 18.
But steps have been taken to reduce it. In 2015, a trial done in 500 homes fitted with smart shower devices found that daily, each person could save five litres of water. "We hope to empower more households with such devices to change their showering habits to save water," said Mr Masagos on Friday when he spoke about the extension of the green label scheme to commercial equipment, such as commercial dishwashers, washer extractors and high pressure jet machines.
