It's the newly opened new garden in Punggol New Town - Lorong Halus Wetland. A landfilled from trash transformed into an Eco-friendly wetland which provide an educational site and a sanctuary for plants, birds and other wildlife. Under the ABC (Active, Beautiful, Clean) waters programme, PUB recently completed works to create ‘Halus Wetlands’, to help purify run-offs from the landfill. This is opened to the public in early this March.
A pedestrian bridge has also been constructed across Serangoon Reservoir to allow for easy access by the public and residents from the Punggol New Town located on the western bank of the reservoir.
Using an innovative bio-remediation system, PUB designed the Lorong Halus Wetland to collect and treat water passing through the former landfill, preventing it from flowing into Serangoon Reservoir. A rustic trail has been laid out among the reed beds and the ponds, allowing the public to get up close to the wetland system.
