IMPROVED WATER SUPPLY TO TAI HANG
Residents of the Tai Hang and Jardine's Lookout areas will soon
have a much improved water supply with the laying of a new large diameter
fresh water main.
The total length of mains to be laid will be about 10,000 feet.
with a diameter of 15 inches. It will supply water from the Eastern Pumping
Station to the service reservoirs in the area.
The project is necessary because existing mains in the area cannot
cope with the rapidly increasing demand.
At the same time, an improved drainage system will be constructed
in part of Tai Hang.
The work involves the construction of 300 feet of reinforced
concrete stormwater box culvert in Lily Street and the laying of 290 feet
of sewer in Lin Fa Kung Street West.
The extension of the sewer will form part of the system for the
Lai Tak Housing Estate which is now under construction on the hillside
above.
