Harbour Area Treatment Scheme

90.      To improve the water quality of Victoria Harbour, we have already allocated $9.3 billion for the construction of sewage tunnels and ancillary works of Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 2A project. We have proposed to put in an additional $7.9 billion for the remaining works of the project. Furthermore, we will allocate $5.1 billion to build in Tuen Mun an incinerator employing the latest high temperature incineration technology to process sewage sludge generated from the project and others. The water quality of Victoria Harbour will be greatly improved upon the completion of the project in 2014.
