Saltwater pumping station Tuen Mun New Town, Castle Peak Bay, New Territories
	This salt water pumping station was under construction in 1982. One of Hong Kong's major problems is the lack of fresh water. As new towns are built and the need for additional fresh water arises, pumping stations, such as this, are constructed. Since it is salt water,it is used primarily for toilet flushing and fire fighting.
