Overview

The Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns project is the largest cavern project in Hong Kong. Initiated by the Drainage Services Department in 2014, this transformative endeavor aims to shift the aging Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works into caverns by 2031. Upon completion, a remarkable 28 hectares of land will be reclaimed for diverse and beneficial purposes, addressing current issues relating to landscape, odour and aging facilities arising from the existing sewage treatment works.
