清潔黃竹坑明渠 Cleaning up WCH Nallah

昨天下午我接受了蘋果日報的訪問，他們關心指收到市民投訴指發展明渠有死魚，擔心明渠衛生和水質惡化。（明渠在漲潮時才有水）

因黃竹坑工廠很多工廠已搬離，平時明渠的衛生情況還可接受，並不會有擾人的臭味，政府也有定期清理。見下圖。

可能因前陣子的大雨，我發現明渠的垃圾等雜物明顯增多；可能近日天氣酷熱，明渠發出的異味也比以往明顯；不知會否是工廠和明渠旁的城巴車廠的污染嚴重了。

因此今天正式邀請渠務署和環保署實地視察，以改善情況。

我以前跟進明渠的工作，請見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/searchblog_art?p=%E6%98%8E%E6%B8%A0&my=1

I was interviewed by the Apply Daily yesterday. They got a complaint about the WCH nullah, said they found dead fish and feared the environment will be worse if the Gov’t doesn’t do anything.

Most of the factories in WCH have moved away, so the pollution in the nullah is not very serious, and the Gov’t regularly cleans up the nullah. (see the photo)

But maybe because of the heavy rains some weeks ago, I found there are more garbage than before. And maybe because of the hot weather, I found there is smell.

In order to know whether the pollution is worse, I have formally written to the Drainage Services Dept and Environmental Dept to have a joint site visit to inspect the situation and find ways to improve it.
