For the first time, the government has awarded contracts to mainland Chinese brands to supply drinking water to certain offices
Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu has pledged to maintain safety as he weighed in on a deal to buy mainland Chinese brands of bottled water for some government offices that will save taxpayers HK$16 million a year.
Lee also said on Sunday that water samples would be checked regularly and the government would cancel the contracts if standards were not met.
“For drinking water, we attach much importance to safety. It is reflected in our tendering process,” he said.
