The Shek Kip Mei rehousing scheme which will be carried out in five
stages is aimed at providing radical improvement in the living condition of
the 62,000 tenants of the oldest estate.
It is also the first major scheme launched by government to improve
the living condition of 240 old Mark I and II resettlement blocks housing over
half a million people.
Projects as such, however, would require careful study and planning,
including their priority and timing. Details will be announced as soon as they
have been finalised.
SUBMARINE OUTFALL OFF WAN CHAI
A submarine outfall will be built off the seawall of Wan Chai to
diffuse and dilute screened sewage discharged into the harbour, and to give
an increased capacity to sewers in the Wan Chai district.
Work will involve the construction of a twin 48-inch diameter pipe,
one about 1,650 feet and the other 2,000 feet, laid in a foundation trench
dredged at about right angles to the seawall in the seabed and the associated
connecting sewers on land,
Construction work is expected to start in January next year and should
take about 18 months to complete.
