The most effective and reliable way to dispose of wastewater
is by connecting to communal sewers leading to government
treatment facilities.
By connecting to communal sewers, you will:
- enjoy
a safer and healthier living environment;
- stop
pollution caused by malfunctioning STS;
- not
need to operate, maintain and monitor STS; and
- comply
with pollution control legislation easily.

The Government has plans to provide new sewers and improve
existing communal sewers in the territory. Most premises
not currently served by communal sewers will gradually
be provided by one. |

 When
communal sewers are provided in the vicinity and ready
for connection, EPD may send you a notice requiring you
to construct appropriate terminal manhole and other pipework
for conveying all your wastewater to the communal sewer
before a specified date. |

|

The
responsible householder is to construct and pay for
the terminal manhole and any pipework leading from the
village house to the terminal manhole. The Government
will provide and pay for the new communal sewers and
the sewer linking the terminal manhole to the communal
sewer.

You
should properly maintain the terminal manhole constructed
and any pipework leading from your village house to
the terminal manhole.
