Abang, busy looking for dark clouds above...forgot about the sewers....oops! he not in charge..this is a once in a 50 year leak of sewerage.
==========================
SINGAPORE: A section of ION Orchard has been closed to the public due to a leak caused by choked pipes.
The building's management told Channel NewsAsia that the internal pipes are located in Lobby B of the building, next to the Louis Vuitton store.
The leak appears to be confined to the store and the neighbouring Dior outlet.
Both stores have closed temporarily and moved their merchandise from the shelves.
However, the smell of filthy water could be detected in the area around the section of the building.
ION Orchard management said it discovered the leak between 8am and 9am on Sunday, with the leakage strongest around noon.
It said the situation is under control and that it's working with the affected tenants to fix the problem.
This is not the first time the building has been hit by leaks.
In July last year (2010), a sewage leak left the mall's basement two's annex area soiled.
The area, with a row of nine jewellery shops called Jewellery Street, was shut off to shoppers.
The mall's management had traced the leak to a clogged pipe in the internal drainage system.
