Licensed plumber Chooi Foo Cheong has been washing apartment tanks for 30 years and has seen enough of this. A licensed plumber is one who is certified by the National Water Service Commission after taking an examination and is certified to run water works projects. “In all my years doing this work, I have seen dead birds floating in the tanks more than once. Chooi said although rust in the water would not pose health problems, the discoloured water would affect the quality of life. “In your own home, you can install a water filter in the kitchen to have safe drinking water, ” he said.
