Water Supply Restored To Homes At Cornwall Gardens

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 25 May 2008

Water supply has been restored to the homes affected by the road cave-in at Cornwall Gardens off Holland Road.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said no fresh cracks have been found in the area.

While the crater left by the cave-in had been filled, digging works are still ongoing to complete some utility works, including the restoration of telecommunications services.

Residents at Cornwall Gardens would probably have to put up with the inconvenience for another 48 hours.

The LTA has ensured that any disruptions caused by the road cave-in are looked into, including providing temporary water supply to some of the homes affected by the incident.

The cave-in was caused by works on the MRT Circle Line off Holland Road. LTA's engineers and contractors had been preparing to stabilise loose soil when the cave-in happened on Saturday morning.

The LTA expects to re-open the road to traffic on Tuesday. -CNA/so
