Newspaper advertisements on water cut
Advertisements listing major water supply suspensions planned in the following week are being placed every Friday in six Chinese and one English newspapers.
This is part of the Water Supplies Department's continuing efforts to enhance its service to customers by keeping them informed well beforehand of major suspensions of water supply.
The seven papers are Hong Kong Economic Times, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily News, Sing Pao, Sing Tao Evening News, South China Morning Post and Ta Kung Pao.
The advertisements would contain only those suspensions of which the affected areas were large and distribution of notices to every individual customers was not practicable, a spokesman for the department said today (Saturday).
"It will supplement the current practice of announcing major planned supply suspensions through the radio and press release.
"At the same time, distribution of individual notices to major housing estates and buildings will also be carried out as far as practicable," he said.
The spokesman said for planned supply suspensions of a smaller scale, consumers would continue to be informed directly by notices distributed to their premises or buildings or through their management offices.
"Urgent supply suspensions will be announced through the radio as soon as possible," he added.
