NEWater pipe leak in Orchard causes massive gush of water outside *Scape mall

SINGAPORE: The authorities are investigating the cause of a burst water pipe outside the *Scape mall in Orchard Road, which sent water gushing several metres skyward on Thursday (Apr 11). 

In response to TODAY’s queries on Friday, Singapore’s national water agency PUB said it was alerted to a “pipe leak” at 2.15pm in a construction site along 2 Orchard Link.

The leak had occurred on a NEWater pipeline, the agency added. In a 47-second video on Facebook, water can be seen spurting upwards, reaching a height of several metres.
