Rebates on Service and Conservancy Charges for Yuhua Residents Involved in Green and Energy-saving Initiatives

Mrs Lina Chiam asked the Minister for National Development when will the Ministry consider reducing the service and conservancy charges for residents of Yuhua who have participated in energy-saving initiatives such as installation of LED lights, solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system and a pneumatic waste conveyance system under the HDB Greenprint Fund programme since 2012.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: This is something for the local Town Council to decide, after taking into account the net savings in their operating cost as a result of the Greenprint project. They will also have to consider the rising cost of the other components of Town Council’s operation. Greenprint helps but it is still a small component of the total Town Council’s annual expenditure.
