WATERWORKS DEPOT TO BE EXPANDED

The Argyle Street Depot of the Waterworks Office will be expanded

to improve services to consumers in Kowloon and the New Territories.

A six-storey annex will be constructed adjacent to the main

depot building to provide additional office facilities.

The ground-floor car port and storage space of the main building

will also be converted into offices.

Office accommodation totalling 15,500 square feet will be provided.

The additional office space will provide for the expansion of

the Consumer Service Section and the maintenance division of the Waterworks

Office.

Work is expected to begin next month, and will take about 14 months

to complete.
