IMPROVED DRAINAGE FOR SHA TIN
A large culvert, costing more than $5 million, will be constructed
in Sha Tin as part of the public works programme to develop the new town.
It will serve as the main drain channelling off stormwater from
the valley to the north-east of To Fung Shan as well as surface run-off
from parts of the new town into Tide Cove.
The culvert, to be built in reinforced concrete, will consist
of four cells, each measuring 8 feet by 9 feet and will be 1,100 feet long.
Construction work, to be supervised by consultant engineers,
will begin next month and will take about 20 months to complete.
Note to Saitors:
