Ngong Ping Sewage Treatment Works

Introduction

Ngong Ping Sewage Treatment Works is the first tertiary sewage treatment plant in Hong Kong. It has been in operation since late 2005. The high quality effluent provides a good opportunity for effluent reuse.

A newly-furnished information corner is located inside the plant. Public can visit the centre and get to know more about tertiary sewage treatment and the effluent reuse pilot scheme via various activities.
