Question No. 6

Reply by the Hon. CHAN Nai-keong, CBE, JP, Secretary for Lands and Works, to question by the Hon. YEUNG Po-kwan, CPM, at Legislative Council on 24 July 1985

Question: Could Government inform this Council of :-

(a) the plan to relocate the waterworks

depot at Bullock Lane; and

(b) the timing of its implementation.

Sir,

Action is in hand to relocate the waterworks

facilities now located at Bullock Lane in Wanchai.

This involves reprovisioning both a centralised

workshop and the operational and service centre for Hong

Kong Island.

Design works for the new centralised workshop

at Lung Cheung Road are currently in hand and construction

is scheduled to be completed in early 1988.

The item for provision of the new 'operational and service centre is currently in Category B of the public works programme and planning is well in hand, though

certain issues remain to be resolved. Detailed design and construction will take about 3 years to complete, following resolution of the planning issues.

On completion of the replacement projects, the

Bullock Lane site can be released.
