NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT FOR SHATIN
A temporary sewage treatment plant will soon be built in Shatin
New Town to provide facilities for about 33,000 people in the first phase
development of the town.
The scheme incorporates a complete sewage purification works
consisting of preliminary units for the removal of large floating and
organic solids and detritus material, biological tanks consisting of
package plants for the removal of organic pollutants and a decanter
centrifuge for the dewatering of the sludge.
The clarified effluent will be discharged into Tolo Harbour
while the dewatered sludge will be disposed off in land fill or taken
out into the sea for dumping.
The plant, to be built on the seaward side of Tai Po Road at
the 12 Milestone and opposite the Jardines Dyeing and Finishing Factory,
is designed to produce effluent which will not deteriorate the quality
of water in Tolo Harbour.
The engineering works comprises mainly the construction of four
large circular tanks, a pumping station, channels, sewers and three
single storey structures for plant equipment and administration offices.
The work is expected to start in February next year and will
take about 22 months to complete.
