SINGAPORE – Good news for shoppers! City Square Mall is back in action as of the morning of September 4th, just hours after a sprinkler pipe burst caused chaos.

The mall's spokesperson confirmed that most stores on Basement 1 and all outlets on Basement 2 reopened their doors, much to the relief of eager customers.

The dramatic incident occurred around 7:40 PM on September 3rd when a faulty sprinkler pipe unleashed a deluge of brown water, sending shoppers into a frenzy. This murky flood was due to "sediments discharged from the pipe," with the associated pump swiftly deactivated to contain the mess.

Vigilant operations and security teams sprang into action, quickly redirecting bewildered shoppers away from the area while cleaners rushed to the rescue.

The mall is doing everything possible to restore the flooded areas with minimal disruption to tenants. In a lively statement, the spokesperson insisted that all necessary investigations and fix-ups are underway.

Videos circulating on social media capture the panic, showing patrons at a KFC outlet hurriedly abandoning their meals to escape the oncoming wave. Thankfully, a spokesperson for KFC reassured everyone that the mishap was unrelated to any refurbishment work at their restaurant.

"We’re relieved to report that no customers or staff were harmed during the incident," they stated, emphasizing their commitment to collaborating with mall management to rectify the situation.

Even the underpass leading to Farrer Park MRT station felt the effects of the burst pipe, prompting SBS Transit staff to assist commuters with the cleanup effort.

As City Square Mall aims to bounce back stronger, shoppers can rest assured that their favorite stores are ready to welcome them back!
