To further enhance Hong Kong's overall flood protection capability, we have commissioned three large-scale drainage tunnels including Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel (HKWDT), Lai Chi Kok Drainage Tunnel (LCKDT) and Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel (TWDT) in August 2012, October 2012 and March 2013 respectively. By adopting the interception approach at uphill catchment, the drainage tunnels provide effective and long-term flood protection to the urban downstream areas.

With the progressive completion of our flood prevention projects, we have removed all the remaining major or regional flooding blackspots in Hong Kong in 2010.
In 2012-13, we have further eliminated two flooding blackspots at Ha Wo Che Village in Sha Tin and Ling Tsui Tau Tsuen in Mui Wo, reducing the number of blackspots from 15 to 13 in 2013.

The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS), consisting of two stages, aims to improve the water quality of Victoria Harbour by intercepting and treating sewage generated from both sides of the Harbour. HATS Stage 1 was commissioned in December 2001 and the major engineering works of Stage 2A, now in progress, is targeted for completion in end 2014.
HATS Stage 2A comprises three parts, namely, upgrading works for the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW), upgrading works for eight preliminary treatment works and construction of the sewage conveyance system. During the year, the works under the awarded contracts are progressing smoothly.
The major upgrading works at SCISTW, including the provision of covers and deodorisation facilities to the existing sedimentation tanks and the construction of interconnection tunnel and diaphragm wall for the new main pumping station were completed in June and July 2012 respectively. Other major upgrading works, including the construction of a new main pumping station and sludge dewatering facilities are now in full swing.

This includes the upgrading of the eight preliminary treatment works (PTW) around the northern and southwestern shore of Hong Kong Island at North Point, Wan Chai East, Central, Sandy Bay, Cyberport, Wah Fu, Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau. All works under the awarded contracts are progressing satisfactorily.
Under HATS Stage 2A, the remaining sewage generated from Hong Kong Island's northern and southwestern regions will be collected and conveyed to SCISTW via a total of 21 kilometres of deep tunnels with depths varying from 70 metres to 160 metres below sea level.
During the year, there has been ongoing deep tunnel excavation adopting drill-and-blast method at North Point, Wan Chai East, Sandy Bay, Cyberport, Aberdeen, Sai Ying Pun and Stonecutters Island sites. Excavation of the vertical shaft also continues at the Wah Fu site.
