Singapore hotels - what water do they provide for guests ...



Remember all that talk about "if you've been to Singapore, you've been drinking recycled water"?

Why?

Just because you've stayed in a hotel?

As an example, there's a well-known hotel on Orchard Road which provides plenty of bottled water for its guests.

And it's not NEWater.

It's Ice Mountain spring water - from Malaysia.

That's right - it's not even sourced from Singapore.

With all the commentary on Singapore and its famous NEWater and how much Singaporeans can't wait to drink it, you'd think they'd be supplying it to tourists in hotels.

Another part of the recycled water fiction ...

During the campaign to bring in recycled sewage water to Toowoomba we told that "It's done in Singapore" and we found out that it is only produced at 1% and that their community do not drink it. They use it in the making of computer parts and selling it to industry for the making a cement.
We were going to be subjected to 25%-29% and that was considered high on world standards by the so called experts, so the big question is "why is Anna Bligh allowed to put nearly straight recycled sewage water into pipes for Brisbane?
That is a Toilet to Tap scheme and that has always been the end game. The Brisbane community is nothing more than a huge experiment in the health of the people for at least a generation.

The Singaporeans are smart people they know that their tourist trade would never go for drinking recycled sewage water in a bottle so hence they have bottled water from Malaya

Just imagine if the 5 star hotels in Singapore provided bottles of newater in their rooms for guests. They would have less guests.

A LOT of Brisbane hotels will be offering bottled water to their customers if the recycled water proceeds.

And you can bet what water Bligh and the other pollies will be drinking in Parliament House - it won't be recycled water.

They can put as much bottled water on the tables as they want, but what water are they cooking your food in out back.
Will also be nice to have a soothing bath while thinking about how much DNA is surrounding you.
