GoBlue4SG in Commemoration of World Water Day this March

PUB’s annual community movement is returning this March to celebrate Singapore World Water Day!

World Water Day is held annually on 22 Mar, a day designated by the United Nations to highlight the importance of water. In Singapore, PUB celebrates World Water Day by rallying the community to show their appreciation for water and to support the water cause through various ground-up activities.
