Director’ s Statement 署 長 的 話 水務署 二零二二至二三年年報 WSD Annual Report 2022/23 8 INTEGRATING SMART SOLUTIONS FOR EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE ASSET MANGEMENT We remain committed to investing in our waterworks infrastructure and networks to foster technology innovation, enhance climate adaptation and improve operational efficiency and reliability for smart water management while contributing to carbon neutrality. We are dedicated to enhance operational efficiency across various aspects of our water supply systems. Building upon the successful pilot of digital twins for real-time monitoring and operation scenario simulation, we have increased the deployment from system operations and service enhancements to product development and incident management. We are also progressing with the establishment of Water Intelligent Network to further optimise the performance of our smart water systems. During the year, several strategic planning and enhancement works were carried out to ensure the provision of high-quality and reliable water supplies. One notable project is the improvement of Dongjiang water mains P4 at Sheung Shui and Fanling. This project involves the replacement of large, ageing underground water pipes, showcasing the Water Supplies Department’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies and fostering collaborative partnerships. These efforts aim to enhance management efficiency, achieve cost-saving and expedite the resumption of water mains services during the challenging times of pandemic period. To support the strategic growth of the Northern Metropolis, we are currently exploring the construction of a new Water Treatment Works within New Territories North New Town to meet the growing demand of fresh water. Additionally, we are planning the construction of a strategic trunk main to utilise a portion of the water supply capacity of the Tai Po Water Treatment Works to address the fresh water needs in the North District. 融合智能方案，實現高效可持續資產管理 我們仍致力投資水務設施和網絡，促進技術創新，增強氣候適應 能力，提高運作效率和可靠性，實現智慧水務管理，同時為碳中 和作出貢獻。 我們努力提高供水系統各個方面的運作效率。隨著「數碼分身」 先導計劃順利實施，我們能實時監測和模擬系統運作情景，在此 基礎上，我們將部署範圍由系統運作和服務提升擴大至產品開發 和事故管理。我們亦逐步建立「智管網」，進一步優化智能水務 系統的表現。 年內，我們開展多項策略性規劃及改善工程，確保供水品質及可 靠性。其中一個值得注意的項目是上水及粉嶺東江水水管 P4 改 善工程。該工程涉及更換大型、老化的地下水管，反映水務署採 用創新技術和建立合作夥伴關係的決心。透過種種努力，在充滿 挑戰的疫情期間，仍能達至提高管理效率，節省成本，及加快恢 復水管服務的目標。 為配合北部都會區的策略性發展，我們正研究在新界北的新市鎮 增建一座濾水廠，以滿足日益增長的食水需求。此外，我們正計 劃興建一條策略性幹管，利用大埔濾水廠的部分供水能力，滿足 北區的食水需求。
