Commenting on the announcement, a government spokesman gave figures
to illustrate the average increase in rates that would be paid by the ratepayer
each month once the new charges are adopted in April next year.
For tenement floors, the average monthly increase will be between $5
and $6; small flats about $15; medium flats about $40; and large flats
about $90 per month.
These figures are based on the reassessment and the anticipated
reduction of two per cent in the rates charges.
WATERWORKS QUARTERS FOR CHEUNG CHAU
Waterworks Office staff permanently stationed on Cheung Chau will
soon have new living quarters for themselves and their families.
The resident staff are responsible for operating and maintaining the
maine water distribution system, and to deal with house service matters and
faults.
To improve their services, a new depot will be built in the central
area of Praya Street, This three-storey depot will consist of quarters for
both single and married staff, an office and a store.
The store will provide adequate space for the storage of pipes and
other fittings required for maintenance and house services.
Construction work has just begun and the project will take about six
months to complete.
