Sewage scheme saving of $500m

OFFICIALS have found a way to save $500 million on phase one of the sewage scheme to clean up Hongkong's heavily polluted waters, freeing more money for other parts of the massive project.

The entire scheme needs $17.8 billion and the Governor, Mr Chris Patten, has promised to allocate $8.3 billion, including the $4.5 billion for phase one and $3.8 billion for sewer improvements in Central, Wan Chai, Kowloon and the New Territories.
