PUMPING STATIONS AT SAI KUNG
******
TENDERS ARE BEING INVITED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO PUMPING STATIONS, PIPELINES AND ACCESS ROADS IN TAI MONG TSAI AND PAK TAM CHUNG IN THE SAI KUNG PENINSULA.
THE PUMPING STATIONS ARE THE FIRST OF EIGHT TO BE BUILT
IN CONNECTION WITH THE HIGH ISLAND WATER SCHEME.
THEY WILL ENABLE FLOOD WATER TO BE PUMPED FROM THE CATCHMENTS TO THE NORTH OF TAI MONG TSAI AND TSAK YUE WU VILLAGES INTO THE HIGH ISLAND RESERVOIR.
WORK ON THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN 15 MONTHS.
AT THE SAME TIME IMPROVEMENT WORKS, INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF WATER CHANNELS AND PIPELINES, WILL BE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE THE IRRIGATION SUPPLY OF THE FIELDS AND THE DOMESTIC NEEDS OF VILLAGERS LIVING IN THE AREAS.
