Proposed
sewerage system at Tuen Mun North and Central
The Environmental
Protection Department published in the government gazette
today (Friday) a plan to build a public sewerage system in
Tuen Mun to improve the water quality of Tuen Mun river channel.
The sewerage system will cover the unsewered areas of Nai
Wai, Sun Fung Wai, Tuen Tsz Wai, Tsing Chuen Wai, San Hing
Tsuen, Lam Tei, Tuen Mun San Tsuen, To Yuen Wai, Kei Lun Wai,
Kau Hui San Tsuen and Yeung Siu Hang in Tuen Mun.
The system
will effectively reduce the quantity of untreated sewage discharged
from these areas into Tuen Mun river channel and improve the
sanitary conditions of these areas, a spokesman for the Environmental
Protection Department said.
"The
proposed project will collect sewage generated from these
areas for treatment and disposal at the existing Pillar Point
Sewage Treatment Plant," he said.
The works,
which will take about 48 months to complete, are scheduled
to start in October 2001.
Details
of the proposal, in both English and Chinese, will also be
put up at prominent positions within the works area.
