Factual Insights on proposed Deep Tunnel Sewerage System near Teresa Ville...


Dear Fellow TV apartment owners,

Following up on the post dated June 8 on this blog titled "Beware of Exaggerated and Alarmist Proclamation regarding Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS)";  please find below, summary of factual insights on proposed DTSS in the vicinity of Teresa Ville. This summary is based on the briefing by PUB delegates to members of Teresa Ville MC and few invited experts, on June 13 at 7.30 PM. This summary is based on inputs from few MC members and one of the invited experts who attended the said briefing.  

"We have come across irresponsible information by some SPs regarding the impact of the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System on Teresa Ville.

What we do know for a fact are:

1. It occupies a small part of the vacant land between Teresa Ville and the Ayer Rajah Expressway. The boundary is clearly marked out in the latest URA Master Plan. The remainder of the vacant land will not be affected or used in the construction works.

2. The DTSS tunnel does not cut through Teresa Ville property at all.

3. The entire construction duration will last from 2019 to 2024-25. Most of the busy work will be in circa 2019, when they build the shafts.

4. The construction site hoardings will be about 22m away from TV's boundary and the site will be largely screened by hoardings and the  existing earth mound from Teresa Ville.

5. There are strict guidelines on noise, dust, odour and vector control measures imposed by PUB and NEA on the Contractor, throughout the construction period.

6. After completion in 2024-25, it is uncertain when the DTSS will be commissioned for use. It is possible that it may lie unused for some years as it is a long term infrastructure provision for Singapore.

7. When commissioned, dampers have been designed to pressurize the tunnel (via the vertical shafts) so that foul air does not escape. This is in addition to other odour control measures that are being provided. It was emphasised that at 50m deep, foul air escape is unlikely.

8. The situation is not unique to Teresa Ville, other properties like Harbourlights, Interlace, Leedon Heights etc are in a similar situation.

9. The Contractor is mindful that traffic and pedestrian management are very important. They will be working with LTA on this matter."

Attention: Fellow TV Owners, who have not signed the CSA 
Please do not listen to unauthenticated rumors by some over excited pro-enbloc SPs who want to instill fear by false or exaggerated or distorted facts regarding DTSS project, with objective of influencing peacefully living SPs to sign the CSA. Please also read thru other recent posts on this blog, warning SPs against falling prey to "fear tactics", adopted by some pro-enbloc supporters in recent weeks.  Thank you.

Is our enbloc sale agent able to enhance Teresa Ville's land value?

  Is our enbloc sale agent able to enhance the land value of Teresa Ville?   (1) What can the enbloc sale agent do to increase the land value of Teresa Ville?   Answer : Very little and next to nothing.   There are a few things that can increase the land value of Teresa Ville, but the property agency cannot do most of these things.   Firstly, the enbloc sale agent cannot increase the plot ratio of Teresa Ville in the Master Plan. An increase in the plot ratio can increase the value of the development land.   Secondly, the enbloc sale agent cannot increase the building height limit of Teresa Ville. An increase in the building height limit together with the increase in the plot ratio can increase the value of the development land.   Thirdly, the enbloc sale agent cannot build a new MRT station, shopping mall or other value-accreditive buildings or infrastructure next to or near to Teresa Ville.   Fourthly, the enbloc s...

Is it worth signing this CSA ? Reflection on EOGM on Feb 28, 2021

  EOGM on Feb 28, 2021 Contribution from one of the fellow owners of Teresa Ville Dear Fellow owners of Teresa Ville, Like many of you, I attended zoom EOGM on Sunday, February 28, 2021. I would like to share some of my reflections and observations. 1.       Unproductively long Meeting and Leaving things to the Last day :   While the meeting was well organized with almost no technical glitch, it went on for too long (5 + hours ). Some owners proposed amendments to the fee structure and terms of Collective Sale Agreement (CSA), but the CSC chairman refused to adopt any of the suggestions and proposals from the owners. It would have saved our time, if the CSC chairman could have clarified in his opening remarks, that since Feb 28, 2021 was the last date of the mandate of Collective Sales Committee, there was no time and scope to make any amendments to the CSA, and the engagement of the property agent and law firm. Hence, any discussion, sugge...
