In order to convey a proper and effective message about water quality and introduce the water treatment process to the public, the WSD has been organizing open days of different water treatment works. This year, open day was held at Ngau Tam Mei Water Treatment Works for public visit on 24 October. More than 1,000 people from all walks of life joined the guided tour of the entire operations.
Visitors were guided by our staff for a technical tour on the whole water treatment process. There were exhibitions of some newly developed projects like self-innovated Wave-powered Cleaning Device, Tuen Mun Hydropower Plant, Combating Unlawful Taking of Water and Prohibiting Swimming or Diving in Reservoirs, Replacement and Rehabilitation of Water Mains Programme, WSD Mobile App and Smart Metering System, etc. Besides, we arranged exhibition of the 50th Anniversary of Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong this time so as to deepen visitors' understanding of the history and development of Dongjiang water supply to Hong Kong and for them to appreciate the efforts and contribution of their predecessors in ensuring a reliable water supply.
