Upon enactment of the Ordinance, the power of the Water Authority (WA) in evidence collection and information disclosure during the investigation of suspected cases of overcharging for water, mainly concerning subdivided unit (SDU) tenants, will be strengthened, and the penalty level for water overcharging will be increased. Key features of the Amendment are as follows: • Empowering the WA to obtain the relevant information and documents; • Mandating a person who charges another person for using water to issue, and keep copies of, receipts; • Introducing an offence for providing false or misleading information or documents; • Increasing the penalty for overcharging for water; • Empowering the WA and the Rating and Valuation Department to disclose information obtained from the investigation of water overcharging cases to each other; and • Making clear that reimbursement of water charges may take place only after the water bill is issued. 分間單位安裝獨立水錶計劃 我們鼓勵「劏房」業主為租戶安裝獨立水錶，讓每個「劏房」 租戶按水務署發出的獨立水費單繳交水費，大大減低業主就收 回水費方面的爭議。在今年，我們就該計劃舉辦了一系列的公 眾及推廣活動，以打擊「劏房」租戶被濫收水費的行為。與去 年相比，安裝獨立水錶的申請增加了約8 成。 Scheme for Installation of Separate WSD meters for Subdivided Units We recommend owners of subdivided units (SDUs) to install separate WSD meters for their tenants. With separate WSD meters installed for SDUs, tenants can arrange their own water charges according to the separate water bills issued by the WSD for each SDU, while owners can save the burden of apportioning the water charge. During the year, publicity and promotion activities were conducted to promote the above Scheme to combat overcharging SDU tenants for water. Compared with last year, there is an increase of about 80% in the applications for installation of separate water meters. 73 水務署 二零二三至二四年年報 WSD Annual Report 2023/24 Enhance 提升 Menu 目錄
