Tong Fuk Beach to be re-opened

The RSD has been advised to re-open the Tong Fuk beach on Lantau after sample tested today (Friday) showed that the water quality is normal.

The beach was closed at about 6 pm yesterday as a precautionary measure after a partial failure at the sewage treatment plant in the Ma Po Ping Prison.

An EPD spokesman said that as Drainage Services Department had stopped the discharge from the plant and were tankering the effluent to other treatment facilities until the plant is repaired, beach water quality was not expected to be further affected.
