The mission of ENV is for Singaporeans to enjoy a clean living environment and a high standard of environmental public health protected against the spread of communicable diseases; and to do our part to protect the global environment. A total budget of $1,498m has been allocated to ENV in FY2003 to achieve this mission.

To sustain a quality living environment for Singaporeans for the long-term, ENV is committed to seeking innovative and efficient use of scarce resources, promoting active participation by all from the people, private & public sectors, and continuing our proactive role in global environmental efforts.

In line with this, ENV will ensure that our air quality meets international standards, prevent and control pollution in our water catchments and watercourses, and enhance the living environment.

Furthermore, ENV will build the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (Phase I) and continue to implement drainage improvement projects, as an investment to meet Singapore's long-term sewerage and flood alleviation needs.
