Problem statement: Water tanks in Singapore are compartmentalised, and each
building has a single tank which has internal partitions to ensure constant
water supply to buildings even during cleaning and maintenance. However, building
occupants experience temporary water disruptions as compartmentalisation
problems create water leakages, resulting in having the entire tank being shut
off in order to carry out works. Therefore, instead of having multiple
compartments in a single tank, multiple tanks are needed to supply water
reliably.
Purpose statement: The aim of this report is to propose to the Housing
Development Board (HDB) the implementation of two water tanks connected in
parallel to supply water to each building, so as to eliminate the use of
unreliable compartments while maintaining redundancy. This will reduce the
occurrence of water disruptions and improve the reliability of water supply.
