NEWater is obtained from reclaiming used water. It is to increase the fresh water supply in Singapore. Used water is further purified making it suitable for human consumption. It is supplied to both industrial and commercial buildings, but a small percentage is blended and treated along with rainwater stored in reservoirs. This treated NEWater is then supplied to households for direct consumption. The first NEWater factories were started in 2003 in Bedok and Kranji. Followed by, Seletar and Ulu Pandan.
