Our Environment is
an important and valuable asset. The Drainage Services Department is
tasked to provide the community with a high standard of protection
against flooding, and an effective system for the collection, treatment
and disposal of sewage to protect the environment and safeguard public
health.
Our services form
part of the water cycle management contributing to environmental
protection and sustainable development of Hong Kong. We deliver our services through
planning, design, contracting, construction, operation and maintenance
of the drainage and sewerage systems and sewage treatment plants. Besides seeking engineering
excellence, we are mindful of the influence of our works on all aspects
of the environment. We
have set out very clear environmental policy and goals and provided
relevant training, support and necessary resources to our staff helping
them to identify and mitigate any potential environmental impacts
arising from our works.
In 2004, we
continued to improve the environmental performance of our services. On
the land drainage side, wetlands were created in Yuen Long and San Tin
as part of our drainage improvement works. In wastewater treatment, we adopted a tertiary
treatment to facilitate effluent reuse in Ngong Ping. On energy saving,
we won the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Best Practice Gold
Award in the Hong Kong Awards for Energy Efficiency and Conservation in
Government. On management side, we set up a Green Management Committee
to capture our experience on green management and to keep up the
momentum on green initiatives through experience sharing. This report describes our
environmental performance in 2004. We hope you enjoy the reading and pass on any
comments to us at enquiry@dsd.gov.hk
to help us improve further.
