Bukit Timah pipe rupture leaves residents without water for hours

A burst water pipe on Bukit Timah Road caused an extended outage affecting residents across the area on Tuesday. The pipeline rupture left households without water supply for approximately nine hours before repair crews managed to restore full service.

The incident prompted a rapid response from water supply authorities, who mobilised teams to locate and address the source of the leak. Engineers worked to isolate the damaged section and complete necessary repairs to restore pressure and flow to the affected distribution network.

All residential units impacted by the outage had their water supply reinstated by the close of business on the same day. The utility company did not immediately disclose the cause of the pipe failure or provide estimates on repair costs.

Residents in the Bukit Timah area were advised to check their water quality before resuming normal use following the restoration of supply.
