        Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC): What is it?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) is the cost of keeping our neighbourhood estates spick and span, much like how condo residents have a mandatory monthly maintenance fee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        So, we know money is going out of our pockets. But where is it going, and what does it cover?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You pay the S&CC to your local Town Council, which then goes towards general up-keeping works, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Provision of essential maintenance and repairs of lifts, water pumps, switchrooms, lightings, and lift rescue services<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Conservancy works such as fumigation and refuse collection <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Cleaning works such as the sweeping and washing of common areas<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Landscaping and horticultural works<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Preventive and cyclical maintenance works, including repainting and re-roofing<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Replacement of water pipes and automatic refuse chute-flushing systems
          <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

          26% of S&CC funds are <\/span>allocated to the town council\u2019s Sinking Fund<\/span><\/a>, which covers big projects such as repainting HDB blocks or maintaining the block\u2019s facade. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          On top of this, a minimum of 14% of the S&CC goes to the <\/span>Lift Enhancement Programme<\/span><\/a>, a dedicated lift replacement fund to improve lift performance and reliability. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          S&CC isn\u2019t paid by just HDB residents. Various sites located within the estate are subject to the charges, including childcare centres, the neighbourhood police or civil defence post, market centre, food stalls, shops and offices. <\/span><\/p>\n
