Singapore, 5 May 2017 – Gas supply along Jurong West St 65 was disrupted at 1514hrs today, due to a gas leak. The gas leak was caused by damage to an underground pipe when a third-party contractor, Gerrich International Pte Ltd, was carrying out works there.

A fire broke out at the void deck of Block 663D, as a result of the gas leak. SCDF was activated to put out the fire.

Our engineers were immediately dispatched to the site. Our priority is to ensure the safety of everyone in the vicinity.

As a precautionary measure, the valves to our gas pipes were shut off to isolate the leak, for our engineers to repair the damaged pipe and restore supply.

During this period, supply to 1,305 households in 12 blocks (663A, 663B, 663C, 663D, 664A, 664B, 664C, 664D, 665A, 665B, 666A and 666B Jurong West St 65) was affected.

Gas supply to 8 blocks (663A, 663B, 663C, 663D, 664A, 664B, 664C and 664D) was restored by 1920hrs and to the remaining blocks (665A, 665B, 666A and 666B) by 2100hrs. We thank the residents for their understanding and patience.
