Stormwater Drainage Master Plan Study commissioned
The Drainage Services Department has commissioned a Stormwater Drainage Master Plan Study for Tuen Mun and Sham Tseng to reduce flooding.
A $7.38-million agreement was signed today (Friday) by the Assistant Director of Drainage Services/Operations and Maintenance Branch, Mr Raymond Cheung, and a representative of Binnie Consultants Limited.
Speaking after signing the agreement, Mr Cheung said the study would examine the existing drainage system and recommend short and long-term improvement measures to reduce flooding.
"Some of the drains, which were built some 30 years ago, were under capacity and fell short of the current flood protection standard.
"The study will also develop a computerised asset management system to facilitate future planning, management and operation of the drainage system," Mr Cheung said,
The 18-month study is the fourth of the seven drainage master plan studies initiated by the department.
The other three studies for north-west New Territories, north Hong Kong Island, and Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing districts started respectively in January, May and September last year.
