IMPROVEMENT OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Work to improve the drainage system and stability of the slopes

in the Shau Kei Wan Village areas is expected to begin next month.

The work, which will take about 15 months to complete, involves

the construction of retaining walls and about 4,000 feet of stormwater

drains,

On completion, the risk of flooding during the rainy season will

be greatly reduced.

Also to be improved is a stormwater drainage system near the

Children's Orthopaedic Hospital and Convalescent Home at Sandy Bay.

The improvement work will involve the replacement of the existing

stormwater drain by a 320-foot culvert.

The work, expected to begin in December, will take about six months

to complete.

مید

Both projects have been designed by the Drainage Works Division

of the Civil Engineering Office of the Public. Works Department.

Release time: 2.30 p.m.
