Is it safe to use NEWater to supplement our water supply?
NEWater is the high grade water produced after treated used water has been further purified using a 3-step process involving advanced membrane technologies like Microfiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and the final disinfection of the product water using ultraviolet light.
This multiple-barrier membrane treatment process has enabled PUB to produce consistently good quality NEWater.
With its consistently good quality and reliability in production, NEWater is put to greater use in terms of being a source of non-potable water and for indirect potable use by blending it with reservoir water.
