SINGAPORE - National water agency PUB has prosecuted 38 companies, including bakery and food manufacturing company BreadTalk, in the last year for illegally discharging trade effluent into public sewers.
BreadTalk was prosecuted for discharging, on multiple occasions, trade effluent containing regulated chemicals exceeding allowable concentration limits into the public sewer in June 2016 and April 2017. The company was fined a total of $16,300. The companies were prosecuted from June 2018 to May this year and fined a total of $253,700. They include Tat Seng Packaging Group, NSL Oilchem Logistics, KMS Industrial and Metal Treatment Technology.
These acts can cause fires in the sewers and may threaten PUB's treatment of used water, the agency added.
