NEWater pipe leak outside *Scape mall in Orchard causes massive geyser; PUB investigating

SINGAPORE: The authorities are investigating the cause of a burst water pipe outside the *Scape mall in Orchard Road, which sent a massive geyser of water gushing skyward on Thursday (Apr 11). 

In response to TODAY’s queries on Friday, Singapore’s national water agency PUB said it was alerted to a “pipe leak” at 2.15pm in a construction site along 2 Orchard Link.

The leak had occurred on a NEWater pipeline, the agency added. In a 47-second video on Facebook, water can be seen spurting upwards, reaching the height of several metres.
