Description of Project

 

This is an ongoing project in association with Maunsell Consultants, with the team retained to participate in a series of studies on alternative treatment and discharge options in order to select a preferred development option for the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATs).  The project has been undertaken by the Government of Hong Kong and its Department of Sewerage and Drainage (DSD).  As part of the start-up phase of the study, Executive Chairman Dr. Michael Porter presented a range of financial options on how the scheme could be structured and include private sector finance and tendering, with the discussion focusing on issues such as asset ownership, institutional design and regulatory framework to identify the most efficient and effective way for the public sector to provide water and wastewater services.
