Water


The main source of water consumption is keeping MTR's facilities and equipment clean. Mindful that water is an increasingly precious resource, MTR has introduced measures to reduce water usage, including cleaning platforms with purpose built machines. A sub-working group under the leadership of EMS implementation working group was formed in June 2001 to propose the control and monitoring measures of water consumption at stations. The total water consumption for Urban Line and Lantau Airport Railway stations in 2001 was 211,073 m. This represents a reduction of 5.9% compared to consumption in 2000.


Water consumption of individual lines in 2001 was:
Island Line 46,866 m (113.5% of 2000 total)
Tsuen Wan Line 25,230 m (75.1% of 2000 total)
Kwun Tong Line 106,065 m (86.5% of 2000 total)
Lantau Airport Railway 32,912 m(122.8% of 2000 total)
