Pasir Ris resident Rozben calls this "a waste of good water".The STOMP reader, who lives in Pasir Ris Street 21 observed that this cleaner in the picture cleaned the roads using a high pressure hose to spray the grime off the surface of the ground from a utility pipe at the void deck of every block he is cleaning.
The resident is upset.
In the email sent to STOMP, Rozben says: "So far, he may have completed about 100 odd metres of this stretch of road, and I think has used quite a lot of water as he has to spend quite a bit of time at the same spot.
If the water is used to clean the void decks, stairs or lift landing, that is ok, as these areas need to be clean. But,is it really necessary to wash the road, just to ensure it is nice and red [yes, red is the colour of the road]? If there are areas of the road that are really dirty and smelly, I will agree, but washing the whole stretch of road is stretching it a little too far and is a waste of good water."
