context_page_description: NEWater is the brand name given to highly treated reclaimed wastewater produced by Singapore's Public Utilities Board. More specifically, conventionally treated wastewater is further purified to produce NEWater by using advanced treatment technologies. The water is potable quality and is added to drinking water supply reservoirs where it is withdrawn and treated again in conventional water treatment plants before being distributed to consumers. Currently, however, most of the NEWater is used by industries requiring high purity non-potable production water.
