Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station

From Shenzhen Reservoir to our very own Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station, the journey of Dongjiang water is a tale of vital importance to Hong Kong. Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station stands as a crucial link in Hong Kong’s water supply chain. This pumping station, operated by the Water Supplies Department, isn’t just a building; it’s the gateway for Dongjiang water. It plays a critical role in ensuring that Hong Kong’s thirst is quenched. The Dongjiang, a tributary of the Pearl River, supplies water to over 40 million people, including Hong Kong. The water begins its journey at the Taiyuan Pumping Station in Dongguan. Then it travels through a dedicated aqueduct to the Shenzhen Reservoir, bypassing any potential pollution sources along the Shima River. Finally, it arrives at Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station. Here in Hong Kong, the real magic happens. At Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station, the Dongjiang water is received and meticulously monitored around the clock. It’s then distributed via three major aqueduct systems: the Western, Central, and Eastern Routes. These routes carry the water directly to various treatment plants, like Ngau Tam Mei and Au Tau, or to reservoirs for temporary storage before treatment. The network is strategically interconnected through the Tai Po Tau Raw Water Pumping Station complex. This interconnectedness ensures operational flexibility, especially during the annual maintenance shutdown of the Dongjiang supply in December. During this period, water from Plover Cove and High Island Reservoirs maintains the supply to treatment works in Sha Tin, Tai Po, and other areas. The Legislative Council even visited the Muk Wu B And C Raw Water Pumping Station and Tai Po Water Treatment Works in May 2017. This visit highlighted the station’s significance. The council members observed the sophisticated monitoring systems in action. They gained insights into the crucial process of ensuring water quality.
