SINGAPORE: National water agency PUB on Sunday (Jan 20) said it is investigating black discharge which was seen in a canal at Potong Pasir.
"PUB received a report of discharge in an outlet drain at Potong Pasir Ave 1 at 10.20am on Jan 19, 2019," said a PUB spokesperson in a reply to Channel NewsAsia's queries.

PUB officers and contractors went down to investigate immediately, said the spokesperson.
However, there was no discharge found onsite, as it might have been diluted with the water in the canal, he added.
