The Water Supplies Department (WSD) of the Hong Kong SAR Government is charged with the responsibility of maintaining reliable and quality water supplies. Approximately 20% to 30% of Hong Kong's fresh water supply comes from the local yield collected in catchment areas of the territory's 17 impounding reservoirs while the remaining raw water comes from Dongjiang in the Guangdong Province. Both the local yield and imported Dongjiang water are subject to stringent treatment and monitoring to ensure that the quality of treated water meets the Hong Kong Drinking Water Standards. Moreover, since the 1950s, we have taken full advantage of Hong Kong's geographic proximity to the ocean to adopt salt water for flushing purposes. Fresh water and salt water are supplied through two entirely separate supply systems. Our extensive array of service reservoirs and water mains provide these supplies for distribution to homes and commercial developments. To ensure the sustainability and resilience of Hong Kong's water supplies, we continue to manage our asset to sustain their health and develop new sources of water including desalination and recycled water. These additional sources of water will give Hong Kong enhanced water security and the ability to adapt to climate change. As one of the city's largest energy consumers, we have implemented measures to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible by adopting innovation and technology, developing renewable energy and enhancing energy efficiency. We are the first Hong Kong SAR Government department to obtain the ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management System certification. Our vision is to excel in meeting our customers' needs for quality water services. With this in mind, our committed workforce has collaborated with stakeholders and adopted a customer-oriented approach to ensure that our customers receive the most efficient and high-quality services.
