, an employee of Happy Fish Swim School dumped about 45kg of calcium hypochlorite into the sewers at the swim school at Jurong Gateway Road and used a fire hose to flush water down the sewer, said PUB.
He said the school hired a waste management company after noticing a strong smell from the chlorine drum, which had come into contact with moist air. On Monday, PUB explained that calcium hypochlorite, commonly used for pool sanitisation and maintenance, is a highly reactive and corrosive chemical. Illegal disposal of hazardous substances into the sewers is an offence punishable under the Sewerage and Drainage Act. Happy Fish Swim School is a first-time offender, said PUB.
"The disposal of hazardous substances into the sewers is an irresponsible act that can adversely affect the operational integrity of the public sewerage system, disrupt the used water treatment process, and severely endanger the health and safety of the workers maintaining the system," said Maurice Neo, director of PUB's water reclamation network.
