in the Kowloon City area, but will also serve as a main access route to the

MORE TREATED WATER FROM SHATIN PUMPING STATION
More than 2,000 feet of water mains will soon be laid to help deliver
water from the Shatin Treatment Works Extension to urban areas to meet the
ever-increasing demand for treated water.
The twin mains, 60 inches in diameter, will link the Shatin Pumping
Station and the Shatin Portal of the existing Lion Rock Tunnel.
When the second tunnel is completed the mains will be extended to
pass through the new tunnel to feed service reservoirs in Kowloon.
Work on the pipeline project, costing about $1.8 million, is expected to begin in November and will take about eight months to complete.
