******************************************************************************************
     The Drainage Services Department (DSD) is holding Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns - Community Liaison Centre Open Day today and tomorrow (August 27 and 28). Aside from showcasing the latest developments of the Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns project, the event is being held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
 
     The Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, accompanied by the Director of Drainage Services, Ms Alice Pang, joined the public at the Open Day today and showed support for colleagues. Ms Linn then visited the works site in the cavern to learn about the progress and challenges of the works.
 
     The Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns project is the largest cavern project in Hong Kong. Upon completion of the project, the environment of the existing Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works and its surroundings will be enhanced, and about 28 hectares of land will be released. The DSD has applied innovative technologies and equipment in the project to enhance the efficiency and quality of the works, and to reduce the environmental impact and safety risks.
 
     The Open Day features exhibitions and game booths. DSD engineers are introducing cavern project highlights and the drill-and-blast construction method. Members of the public can also use the Immersive Cave Automatic Virtual Environmental System to view construction in the cavern, and learn about the cavern project and the work of the DSD in sewage treatment and flood prevention. In addition, members of the public can enjoy the sustainability design elements through touring the rain garden and the greening back garden of the Community Liaison Centre.
