Trunk
Sewer System Proposed for Hung Shui Kiu
The Environmental
Protection Department published in the Gazette today (Friday)
a plan to build a trunk sewer system at the unsewered area
of Hung Shui Kiu of Yuen Long.
The new
sewerage system will effectively reduce pollutants currently
discharged to nearby watercourses and bring improvements to
the sanitary conditions of the area, a spokesman for the Environmental
Protection Department said.
The proposed
project will collect sewage generated from existing village
houses and future residential and commercial developments
for an estimated population of about 40,000.
The works,
which will take about two years, are scheduled to start in
early 1999.
Details
of the plan, in both English and Chinese, have been put up
on the notice boards for public inspection near the site of
the proposed sewerage works.

proposed sewerage works are available for inspection at the
