The scope of the agreement comprises carrying out investigation study, site investigation, design, preparation and assessment of tenders and supervising the construction works of the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works extension.
The extension project aims to increase the water treatment capacity of Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works from the existing 150 000 cubic metres per day to 300 000 cubic metres per day to cope with the future water demand in North Lantau.

The construction is tentatively scheduled to commence in 2021 for completion in 2025.
