WASHING CLOTHES BY THE RIVER IS ONE THING BUT DOING THE DAY'S WASHING IN MURKY DRAIN WATER LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED - EVEN WHEN USING THE LATEST MIRACLE DETERGENT. BUT THESE TWO VILLAGE HOUSEWIVES, BUSY SCRUBBING AWAY ARE NOT IGNORING THE 'DON'TS" OF PERSONAL HYGIENE - THEY ARE USING CRYSTAL CLEAR SPRING WATER FROM SELETAR RESERVOIR. AND THOUGH THESE HOUSEWIVES AND OTHERS HAVE TO WALK FROM THEIR VILLAGE TO DO THEIR WASHING, IT IS WORTH THEIR WHILE BECAUSE THE WATER IS FREE AND THE 'TAP' IS ALWAYS FLOWING. THE WATER IS SIPHONED OFF THE RESERVOIR'S NATURAL SPRINGS TO AN OUTLET WHERE THE GOVERNMENT HAS BUILT A CONCRETE PLATFORM FOR THE VILLAGERS' USE.
