HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
RAMPING UP MEASURES AND FACILITIES IN ESTATES TO COMBAT COVID-19
Serving our community and residents through the hard times has been a challenge for the Housing Society, which demands our unwavering dedication and support in order to ensure a safe, healthy and comfortable environment throughout the pandemic and beyond.
To this end, our frontline staff remained vigilant in maintaining services at their highest levels in order to ensure the mental and physical well-being of our residents.
A lot of attention and resources have been poured into the stepping up of sanitation and facilities in our estates to protect the health and safety of our residents. As part of this, hygiene regimens were enhanced with an additional HK$2 million committed to extra cleaning.
DRAINAGE INSPECTION AND TOUCHLESS TECHNOLOGIES
With the sewage system in the spotlight following a spate of confirmed cases in residential buildings, the Housing Society wasted no time inspecting the drainage pipes in rental estates.
By end of March, some 30,000 drainage pipes within the units were inspected with around 500 of these fitted with W-trap systems.
As W-trap system collects the waste water from basin, bath or shower to divert to replenish the water seal of the floor drain, tenants are therefore saved the trouble of repriming the floor drains from time to time, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission. These initiatives cost an additional HK$9 million.
In addition, the Housing Society introduced an array of ‘touchless’ solutions in the estates, including the use of Octopus card system at the main entrance for access by residents; as well as laser or infrared elevator panel that detect the lift button without the need for contact.
加強屋邨對抗新冠肺炎疫情的措 施和設施
在逆境下為社區和住戶提供服務對房協而言 是一項挑戰，需要我們堅定不移的努力和付 出，以確保在疫情期間和往後提供安全、健 康和舒適的環境。
為此，前線員工時刻保持警覺，維持最高水 準的服務，以確保住戶身心健康。
房協非常重視並投入大量資源加強屋邨的消 毒工作，保障住戶的健康和安全。房協更增 撥二百萬港元用於額外清潔工作，以提升衞 生狀況。
排水管檢查與無接觸技術
隨著住宅樓宇先後出現確診個案，渠管及排 水系統受到關注，房協爭分奪秒檢查出租屋 邨的喉管。
截至三月底，房協已檢查轄下單位約三萬條 喉管，並為約五百個排水管加裝「W型」聚水 器。
由於「W型」聚水器收集從洗手盆、浴缸或 花灑沐浴間排放的生活用水導入地台去水口 的隔氣彎管以補充其水封，因此租戶毋須透 過不時向地台去水口注水來減低病毒傳播風 險。這些措施花費額外九百萬港元。
此外，房協為轄下屋邨引入一系列「免觸式」 方案，包括住戶可使用八達通卡系統進入大 堂，以及裝設雷射或紅外線升降機控制板， 毋須接觸即可隔空按掣。
