Sewerage
improvement for Tai Po and Sha Tin villages
The Environmental
Protection Department (EPD) is planning to introduce sewerage
to 10 villages in Tai Po and one in Sha Tin as part of the
government effort to improve the water quality of Tolo Harbour.
The proposed
works under the Tolo Harbour Sewerage of Unsewered Areas Scheme
was published in the Government Gazette today (Friday).
The villages
where sewerage works will be carried out include Kau Shi Wai,
Tin Sam, San Wai Tsai, Chuk Hang, Lai Chi Shan, Cheung Uk
Tei, Fung Yuen Lo Tsuen, Mak Uk, Shek Kwu Lung and Yung Shui
O in Tai Po as well as Hung Mui Kuk in Sha Tin.
The works,
which will be carried out by the Drainage Services Department,
are scheduled to start in April next year and expected to
complete in 18 months.
Details
of the proposal, in both English and Chinese, will be put
up at prominent positions near the works area.
