To maintain the efforts to upgrade Macao’s wastewater treatment facilities, the MSAR government is constructing a WWTP in the Macao zone of the Macao-Zhuhai Trans- border Industrial Park (TIP) to process sewage generated in that region. Following the launch and construction of various large-scale tourism and gaming sites in Cotai, the area is expecting to see increased volumes of wastewater. To step up wastewater management in Coloane and Cotai, plans were developed to expand the water treatment plant in Coloane so that it can handle sewage generated in that area more comprehensively. The plan also utilises water processed by the WWTPs in Coloane and the Macao-Zhuhai TIP for street cleaning, irrigation and facility cleaning at the treatment plant, so as to achieve a more effective use of water resources. Report on the State of Environment Macao Currently, Macao’s drainage network serves almost the entire Macao peninsula, Taipa except Cheok Ka Village and Coloane excluding Ká Hó Village.
