Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (Chinese: 沙田污水處理廠) is a sewage treatment facility in Hong Kong. It is located in Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin,[1] along the Shing Mun River, at its mouth into Sha Tin Hoi (Tide Cove).
The treatment works serves Sha Tin, Ma On Shan and the villages nearby.[2] The plant is managed by the Drainage Services Department.[2]
It was then extended in several stages. Stage I was first commissioned in 1982[2] with stage II following in 1986. Stage III was completed in September 2004.[3]
Construction work to move the sewage treatment facility to an artificial cave within Nui Po Shan, a nearby mountain, started in 2021.[4]
