Interviewing the PUB (NEWater) officer:
Do you think NEWater is safe to consume?
Of course
How did PUB encourage the public to drink Newater as an alternative to fresh water?
By pumping some, a small percentage, of the NEWater into the resevior. So, gradually we are allowing the public to try NEWater, so that they will not be so adversed with the idea. So, this is one of the ways.
Are there any campaigns held to raise awareness of NEWater or change the mindset of the people towars NEWater?
So far, no.
What is your personal view of NEWater?
More than safe to drink.
Why do you think some people have negative perception of NEWater?
When they hear sewage water, which is not true, they are afraid. Actually, NEWater is perfectly safe to drink. As long the public know that they are not drinking just used water. Technically, they are, but the water has been treated, so they should not worry. That is why all the more, they should come here (NEWater visitor centre), so that they can be educated, then they will know, this is nothing.
How do you ensure that the PUB officer's view is not based on his job but personal?
ReplyDeleteHow do they can encourage more people to go to the PUB visitor's centre?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they have campaigns? Is there a better way to promote NEWater?
