XueNi and I decided to visit the NEWater Visitor Centre for fun and also because we had nothing else to do. And the trip is completely free! :D I did an online booking of the tour and also to check the shuttle bus timing.
12noon @ Tanah Merah MRT control station. That's what we have planned. The shuttle bus will come around 12.15noon. Anyway, we almost missed the shuttle bus! Because we didn't know where is the pick up point is. Good thing that XueNi spotted the bus :)
Super small sign at the far end of the bus stop :\
And we were completely alone on the bus! xD

After the short ride, we have reached the NEWater Visitor Centre! It's a really pretty place, very good place for photoshoot if they allowed :X
Little that we know... we were in a tour with the Xin Min Primary School students!!! D: So sad that the emcee/host/speaker will be speaking in a very childish manner :( Watched a 7mins video, listened to all the children's chattering and then got scoldings from their teachers :\ There's this teacher who is extremely fierce, even I got frightened by her D:
Walked through the doors and went to a place which looks like a place in Science Centre with all the different exhibits and stuff. With all those students running about, I couldn't even see a thing! xD XueNi and I went to sit down at the side and played with our NDS, "Atelier Annie: Alchemist of Sera Island".
4 sources where we get our water from...
Local catchment (reservoirs), Imported, NEWater and Desalinated water.

Blehx, the emcee later brought us to the location beside, where the students are made to sit around. Like this:
After he finished explaining, he asked the students to close their eyes while he went to switch on the rainbow lights and told the students that he did magic @_@... & then he invited all the students onto the lighted area to walk about. I don't think it's very fun though :\ But the students seemed very happy!
Rainbow lights! :D
Kids enjoying themselves.
I have no idea why this kid's pants were wet xD
Walking on NEWater~

Next, to the NEWater factory! :D
So many pipes and stuffs.
& so many students sitting on the ground.
The yucky stuff will not be able to get through
the Submersible Ultrafiltration Membrane fibres.
After the water has been filtered, it will be vacuumed up to the reverse osmosis stage.

STEP 1: ULTRAFILTRATION/MICROFILTRATION
The yucky stuff will not be able to get through
the Submersible Ultrafiltration Membrane fibres.
After the water has been filtered, it will be vacuumed up to the reverse osmosis stage.

STEP 2: REVERSE OSMOSIS
Further filtration of the rest of the smaller yucky stuffs like viruses, bacterias and estrogen endocrine disruptor!
... by using this pressure tube.
Heh.
The final results.

STEP 3: ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION
These are some other extra steps taken:
To end off, we typed some nonsense on the commitment wave thingy and collected our free NEWater :)
The final results.
If you are bored and do not want to waste money, go down to the NEWater Visitor Centre and learn about NEWater!!! xD
