Worries about drinking from a tainted water tank in which an Indonesian maid's body was found may have subsided, but some Woodlands residents have now revealed that they believe foreign workers are using the water stored in rooftop water tanks to bathe themselves.
Lianhe Wanbao reported that about 150 residents gathered at a dialogue session with the Sembawang Town Council management and representatives from the Public Utilities Board (PUB).
Some residents claimed that they have seen workers emerging from the rooftop water tank room with bathing towels. Residents also believe that the workers have brought women to the water tank room for sexual trysts, and that the men bathe in the tanks after having sex.
Security measures to restrict access to water tanks on the rooftops of HDB flats became widely discussed after an Indonesian maid was murdered, and her body was subsequently discovered in a water tank in Block 686B of Woodlands Drive 73.
A Bangladeshi maintenance worker has already been charged with the murder that occured on May 16, 2011.
