Water Works

Construction work for the two major treatment works at Tai Po and Ngau
Tam Mei and for the additional service reservoirs, pumping stations and
water supply networks in Tai Po, Tseung Kwan O and Tuen Mun was in
progress. In addition, the major renovation work of the sea water supply
system for Central Kowloon, Central and Western areas on Hong Kong
Island continued. Planning work continued for increased capacity to meet
the demand from new developments in Central and Western areas on
Hong Kong Island, Kwun Tong, Yau Tong, Tsing Yi, Yuen Long and the
north-eastern and north-western New Territories.

Detailed design of Sham Tseng Treatment Works Stage II was completed
and construction work commenced. Other major design work mainly
concentrated on the provision of additional service reservoirs, pumping
stations and water supply networks in Kowloon East, West Kowloon
Reclamation, Central and Wan Chai Reclamations, Pok Fu Lam, Yau Tong

To eliminate the risks associated with chlorine storage, the replacement of
gas chlorination plants by on-site hypochlorite generation plants at sea
water pumping stations continued.
