National water agency PUB is taking over Hyflux's debt-ridden Tuaspring desalination plant to safeguard Singapore's water security. It issued a notice to the troubled water treatment company yesterday to terminate their water purchase agreement, PUB said in a statement...

It had noted a current valuation showed that the desalination plant's price is negative. The final price, however, will be determined later by an independent valuer, according to the agreement's terms.

A PUB spokesman said in response to media queries that the agency's focus is to put in place the necessary measures and upgrading works to ensure that the desalination plant is able to produce desalinated water reliably.
