IMPROVEMENT OF WATER SUPPLY TO CHAI WAN
Work will begin shortly on a fresh water pumping station to improve
water supply to the Quarry Bay, Shaukiwan and Chai Wan areas.
The new pumping station, to be located on Chai Wan Road, will be able
to handle a reliable output of 2.5 million gallons of water a day.
It will meet rising demands in the district where there has been
rapid domestic and industrial development.
Construction of the station will start next month and will be
completed a year later.
As part of the improvement project, modification work on the existing
distribution system, including the laying of new steel mains, will be carried
out to cope with the increased supply of water.
