WATER SUPPLY SCHEME FOR REMOTE ISLAND
Seven thousand residents of Kat 0 Chau and Kau Lau Wan Village will
have their own water supply when a $3 million scheme serving the two areas
is opened on Saturday (November 4).
The scheme includes intake dams, delivery pipelines both overland
and underwater, and concrete reservoirs near the villages.
The facilities will also serve the crews of fishing vessels based
at Kat Q and Kau Lau Wan.
Special projects for these remote areas must be planned and built
as water cannot be supplied from the general water supply system serving
other parts of the New Territories.
Two opening ceremonies will be held on Saturday when the residents
will join with officials and engineers in the celebrations marking the completion
of the scheme.
