Guided Technical Visit to Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir
About
In June 2021, the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir (Ex-SSPSR) was accorded a Grade 1 historical building status by the Antiquities Advisory Board. The visiting programme will be conducted in the form of guided tours with a view to enhance public's understanding of the historical background and appreciate the internal structure of the Ex-SSPSR, so as to increase public’s awareness on conservation of historic waterworks buildings and heritage.

* The route between the assembly/dismissal point and the Ex-SSPSR takes a walk of about 15 minutes. It consists of mainly narrow trails and stairs and certain efforts will be required. Participants should assess their own health conditions for the guided tour.
* Participants shall arrange their own transport to reach / leave the assembly / dismissal point, and arrive on time.
* On the day of the event, take attendance and check if any participants are feeling unwell or showing symptoms of fever. Advise those who are unwell to return home and rest.
* As all attendees must be covered by insurance, no substitutions will be allowed on the day of the event. WSD staff will perform a simple identity verification for each participant.
* Please bring 3.5mm earphones for listening to the explanations.
* Participants are advised to use the restroom before arriving at the meeting point. Please bring your own drinking water, mosquito repellent, and sunscreen.
