Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2003-04 CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY TO WRITTEN/SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION Head : 194 Water Supplies Department Subhead (No. & title) : Programme : 1 Water Supply: Planning and Distribution Controlling Officer : Director of Water Supplies Director of Bureau : Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works Question : At present, how many remote villages in the New Territories are still not yet provided with metered water supply? What is the programme of provision of metered water supply to these villages? Will the government review the programme in light of the small population of these remote villages? Asked by : Hon. WONG Yung-kan Reply : There are 39 remote villages in the New Territories not yet provided with metered water supply. Of these, 20 will be provided with metered water supply progressively from 2003 to 2004 when mainlaying works are completed. For the remaining 19 remote villages, a recent review indicates that although it is technically feasible to provide treated water supply to these villages, it is not cost effective to do so due to high construction and recurrent costs. Therefore there is at present no programme for supplying treated water to these 19 remote villages. However, the monitoring on the quality of the existing source of water (stream water or ground water) will continue, and the situation will be reviewed periodically.
