Test results of water samples taken from public rental housing estates completed before 2005
The Housing Department (HD) and the Water Supplies Department (WSD) are conducting a representative screening for public rental housing (PRH) estates completed before 2005 in which the fresh water supply systems were installed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority, to determine whether the lead content in drinking water exceeds the World Health Organization (WHO)'s provisional guideline value of not more than 10 micrograms per litre. In general, the HD and the WSD are taking water samples for testing by batches in accordance with the completion year of the PRH estates, starting with newly completed estates and working back to the older ones. Once a batch of water sample tests is completed, the HD will immediately announce the testing results.
(Results announced for 114 PRH estates involving 2295 water samples up to November 11, 2015)
