Proposed sewerage works at Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road approved
The Chief Executive in Council has authorised a scheme for sewerage works at Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road in Area 54, Tuen Mun, a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Department said today (November 28).
The sewerage works at Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road mainly involve constructing about 500 metres of rising mains, about 450 metres of gravity sewers, associated manholes and ancillary works. The works will be carried out along Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road in conjunction with the proposed road works under the project "Formation, Roads and Drains in Area 54, Tuen Mun, Phase 2 Package 1A – Improvement to Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road".
"The scheme will provide a sewerage system for the new housing development near Tsing Lun Road and Tsz Tin Road, and will connect with the proposed sewerage system in Tuen Mun North and West. The scheme will effectively convey the collected sewage for proper treatment and disposal, which will improve the living environment of the area and help reduce pollution of the coastal water of Tuen Mun," the spokesman said.
Construction works, to be carried out by the Civil Engineering and Development Department, are scheduled to commence in 2010 for completion by 2013.
Details of the sewerage scheme were published in the Government Gazette on December 14 and 21 last year. Approval for the sewerage scheme was gazetted today.
