In 2017-2018, DSD progressed well in sewage and flood prevention and garnered remarkable results. The Regulation of Shenzhen River Stage 4 and the first stage of maintenance works of penstocks at the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW) Main Pumping Station were completed in tandem.During the year, we continued to conduct research on various scopes of works and river channel ecology, while sparing no effort in exploring ways to develop our sewage treatment and drainage services, as well as to promote cross-sectoral collaboration and pioneer innovative technologies.
The Regulation of Shenzhen River Stage 4 was successfully completed in July 2017 at a construction cost of approximately $0.85 billion. The works involved improving a 4.5kilometre section of Shenzhen River between the Ping Yuen River estuary and Pak Fu Shan, and constructing a flood retention lake with a capacity of 80,000 cubic metres to upgrade flood prevention capacity of the area. We also introduced greenery and ecological conservation elements into the lake to create a wetland habitat.

From 6 to 31 January 2018, DSD co-organised with the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) an art exhibition titled "After the Deluge" and offered the Tai Hang Tung Stormwater Storage Tank (THTSST) as an exhibition venue for the first time. This exhibition, created by a local artist, Mr. Kingsley NG, made use of the classic mythology of "Dayu Tames the Water" to bring out the contemporary "Dayu" story. While visiting THTSST, visitors could join a guided tour to learn more about the exhibits inside the tank.

Between 20 February and 4 March 2018, DSD completed the first stage of replacement of two large penstocks inside the Main Pumping Station No.1 (MPS1) of SCISTW. The maintenance works were being implemented in stages, involving five rounds of bypasses (including the first discharge which was completed). The whole project is scheduled for completion in 2020. Stage I works included detailed survey and dismantling of two existing penstocks weighing 10 tonnes and 3 tonnes respectively.
