Written Answer by Ministry of National Development on S&CC of Yuhua residents participating in energy-saving initiatives
Jul 13, 2015
Mrs Lina Chiam: To ask the Minister for National Development when will the Ministry consider reducing the service and conservancy charges for residents of Yuhua who have participated in energy-saving initiatives such as installation of LED lights, solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system and a pneumatic waste conveyance system under the HDB Greenprint Fund programme since 2012.
Answer:
This is something for the local Town Council to decide, after taking into account the net savings in their operating cost as a result of the Greenprint project. They will also have to consider the rising cost of the other components of Town Council’s operation. Greenprint helps but it is still a small component of the total Town Council’s annual expenditure.
