SHEUNG SHUI GETS OWN WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

*****

A RAPID INCREASE IN WATER REQUIREMENTS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS NECESSITATED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SEPARATE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR SHEUNG SHUI DISTRICT, THE DIRECTOR OF WATER SUPPLIES,

MR TOM TOMLINSON, SAID TODAY (THURSDAY).

SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE SHEUNG SHUI TREATMENT WORKS, HE SAID THE WORKS WITH AN INITIAL CAPACITY OF 100 000 CUBIC METRES PER DAY WAS THE PRINCIPAL COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM.

IT WAS ANTICIPATED THAT THE PLANT WOULD PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY TO THE DISTRICT UP TO 1990 AND PROVISION HAD BEEN MADE TO DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY AT THAT TIME IF THE NEED AROSE.

MR TOMLINSON SAID THE NEW SYSTEM DREW WATER VIA THE PUMPING INSTALLATION AT MUK WU FROM THE EAST KIVER IN GUANGDONG PROVINCE. IT WAS TREATED AT THE NEW WORKS BEFORE BEING PUMPED FROM THE ADJACENT NEW PUMPING STATION THROUGH SIX KILOMETRES OF NEWLY-LAID TRUNK MAIN TO THE NEW TABLE HILL RESERVOIR AND THE EXISTING TONG HANG RESERVOIR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE AREA, FANNING NORTHWARDS FROM WO HOP SHEK TO LOK MA CHAU TO THE WEST AND SHA TAU KOK TO THE EAST.
