Tai Tam Tuk Raw Water Pumping Station Staff Quarters Compound
Tai Tam Tuk Raw Water Pumping Station Staff Quarters Compound is located at Tai Tam Reservoir Road, Hong Kong. It was constructed by the Government under the schemes of Tai Tam and Tai Tam Tuk to cater for the ever-increasing demand for fresh water in the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century. The Staff Quarters Compound comprises the Senior Staff Quarters, Staff Quarters and No.2 Staff Quarters, constructed in 1905, 1907 and 1936 respectively for the staff of the Water Supplies Department to ensure smooth daily operation of the Tai Tam Tuk Raw Water Pumping Station. These three staff quarters (excluding the Store Building of Staff Quarters) were declared as monuments in 2009. Owing to the adoption of automated operation and centralised control for the pumping station, staff are no longer required to stay overnight and hence the staff quarters are now vacant.
