To promote sustainable development, after undertaking researches and consultations, in 2014, the Drainage Services Department (DSD) moved forward with relocating the aging Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works into caverns. The project is expected to be completed by 2031. Upon completion, not only will 28 hectares of land be released for other beneficial uses, the current issues relating to landscape, odour and aging facilities arising from the existing sewage treatment works will also be resolved.
