Singapore’s PUB must bear Linggiu development costs, says official


JOHOR BARU: Any future development of the Linggiu reservoir, one of the seven reservoirs classified by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) as being “at high risk”, must be borne by Singapore’s Public Utilities Board (PUB), according to a senior state water official.

Johor Water Regulatory Body (Bakaj) director Natazha Hariss said this was because the reservoir was still under PUB’s management as stipulated under the second Johor-Singapore Water Agreement 1962.
