The Water Supplies Department (WSD) organised the Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant Open Day on 24 November 2024. The activity was successfully held and attracted near 1,600 members of public to visit, including students and professional groups.
Members of the public joined the guided tours to visit various facilities of the desalination plant, including the Reverse Osmosis Building, the ActiDAFF and the Administration Building etc. During the visit, the public learnt about the process of turning seawater into drinking water to produce drinking water that fully meets Hong Kong Drinking Water Standards. Many visitors tasted on-site the output of the TKODP.
Next year will mark the 60th anniversary of Dongjiang water supply to Hong Kong. A dedicated exhibition on "Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong" was set up to display precious historical photos showing the situation of water rationing in 1960s and the Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Scheme, and also the measures and efforts of the governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Guangdong to safeguard the quality and security of Dongjiang water supplied to Hong Kong.
