破坏地下水管致38户断水逾九小时 承包商遭罚款5.65万元！
根据公用事业局文告，本地一家建筑承包商丰明建筑公司（Feng Ming Construction），因进行未经批准的打桩工程，结果破坏地下水管，导致饮用水源流失，为此该公司被罚款5万6500元。
这也是该公司第二次受罚。
2019年9月，配合武吉知马一带杜尼安路的道路拓宽工程，这家公司进行铁板桩打桩，但却导致地下大水管破裂，结果38户家庭断水约9个半小时。
损失的水源，达到46万8000公升，足足等于奥林匹克游泳池的20巴仙！
经过调查，丰明建筑确实知道该地带有地下水管，却未进行足够勘测，确定水管位置。再者，也没有按要求在进行打桩工程前取得公用事业局批准。
2013年，该公司曾因为破坏芽笼一巷的大水管，而被罚款4万元。
