Following the amendment to the principal ordinance, the Waterworks
Regulations will also be amended to allow domestic consumers to receive
the same amount of free water supply as before.
Under the new four-monthly billing system, this allowance will
be equal to $8 for each bill issued which amounts to a total of $24
a year, the same as at present.
SAFER PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS FOR YAU MA TEI
Two pedestrian subways will soon be built to smooth cargo handling
operations along the waterfront in the Yau Ma Tei area.
The subways will link Dundas Street and Tung Kun Street with
the sea-front godowns which will be built on land now being reclaimed
from the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter.
To improve drainage in the area, some 1,750 feet of stormwater
drains and two box culverts will be built at the same time.
All these works are part of the Tong Mi Road Extension Scheme which,
when completed, will form a major road artery joining south Kowloon
with Tsuen Wan in the New Territories.
The subway project is expected to begin next month and take 14 months
to complete.
