IMPROVED WATER SUPPLY TO THREE DISTRICTS IN THE NEW TERRITORIES
The Government is to spend about $2 million on improving the
water supply to several districts in the New Territories.
The project involves the construction of the Tai Po Tau Treatment
Works Extension.
The new treatment works, consisting of an additional clarifier and two rapid gravity filters, is designed to have a capacity of six million
gallons a day.
·
On completion, the entire Tai Po Tau Treatment Works will produce
12 million gallons of fully treated water a day to meet the increasing demand
from the Sheung Shui, Fanling and Tai Po Districts.
The work is expected to begin in December and take about 12 months
to complete.
BUILDING IN CENTRAL DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared No. 163 Hollywood Road to be
in a dangerous condition and ordered demolition.
During routine inspection it was found that the brickwork of the main
rear wall of this three-storey prewar building was badly bulged and eroded.
Fractures were also noted in the rear portion of the old party wall
adjoining No. 165 Hollywood Road.
As there is a risk of collapse, a notice of intention to apply for
a Closure Order in Victoria District Court at 9.30 a.m. on December 13, 1972
was posted today.
