SINGAPORE: Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) said it plans to impose a fine on the Sembawang-Nee Soon Town Council after water tanks in Woodlands Drive 50 were found to be mosquito breeding grounds.
In a statement to Channel NewsAsia, the Town Council said seven out of 12 tanks in two blocks were found to be mosquito breeding grounds. The seven water tanks, on Blocks 896C and 899A, contained about 14 larvae.
The town council said the larvae were found between the water tank covers and the concrete tank itself. The tanks were then washed and flushed, and the gaps sealed, after the larvae was detected.
