This year is the 10th anniversary of the Quality Water Recognition Scheme for Buildings (QWRSB). Its annual certificate presentation ceremony was held at the Regal Hongkong Hotel on 21 August 2012. Certificates were awarded to property owners, owners' corporations, property management companies, and management agents of hospitals, hotels, schools, universities and public institutions to recognise their efforts in proper maintenance of their fresh water plumbing systems. The numbers of gold, silver and blue certificates have each reached more than 1,000 for the first time since the introduction of the three grades in 2008, indicating continual and widespread support from the industry.
