DTSS Phase 2

Overview

The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is a superhighway for Singapore’s used water management. DTSS uses deep tunnels to convey used water entirely by gravity to three centralised treatment plants strategically located at coastal areas. The treated used water is then reclaimed and further purified into NEWater, with excess effluent discharged to the sea in an environmentally responsible manner.

When the entire DTSS is completed, existing intermediate pumping stations and conventional Water Reclamation Plants(WRPs) will be phased out, freeing up land.
