Pandan Reservoir (Simplified Chinese: 班丹蓄水池; Malay: Empangan Pandan) is a reservoir located in the West Region of Singapore. Formed by damming the mouth of Sungei Pandan, it is the largest service reservoir in Singapore providing non-potable water to the surrounding industrial areas and in particular, the Jurong Industrial Estate. It is currently managed and maintained by the Public Utilities Board of Singapore.{{cite web | url=http://www.pub.gov.sg/water/Pages/LocalCatchment.aspx | title=Public Utilities Board | publisher=www.pub.gov.sg | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120725074620/http://www.pub.gov.sg/water/Pages/LocalCatchment.aspx | archive-date=2012-07-25 }}
