Under the regulations, it is a requirement for all vessels (motorised and non-motorised) operating in the reservoirs to have valid vessel permits issued by PUB. This is necessary to ensure that reservoir stakeholders and operators comply with strict safety and water quality requirements. </p><p>4.  All users are urged to comply with the reservoir regulations. </p><p>5.  We thank you for your cooperation.  </p>
