Wastewater


Wastewater is generated from both construction and operational activities and MTR has introduced practical measures to reduce and improve discharge quantity and quality. During 2002, a further 3 treatment plants and 11 external pipeline diversions were installed. These and other initiatives enabled MTR to be 98.8% compliant with the Water Pollution Control Ordinance during 2001:


· 96% for the Tsuen Wan Line
· 99% for the Island Line
· 100% for the Kwun Tong Line
