Salt water supply to Chai Wan area resumes
The Water Supplies Department announced today (Friday) that salt water supply to most of Chai Wan, Heng Fa Chuen and Siu Sai Wan has resumed following completion of repair work to a damaged salt-water main.
The interruption of the salt water supply to the area occurred since Sunday (August 13) due to the failure of the supply system caused by the landslide at Fei Tsui Road near the Chai Wan salt water service reservoir.
A spokesman for the Water Supplies Department pointed out that despite the general resumption of salt water supply to these places, three public housing estates, Hing Wah Estate, Fung Wah Estate and King Tsui Court would not be able to receive salt water until a new water main was laid in Fei Tsui Road to by-pass the landslip
area.
The Water Supplies Department has, however, given permission to the Housing Department to use drinking water for flushing purposes temporarily. This needs some temporary works to be done and is being arranged by the Housing Department.
