Government Logistics Department says AS Watson will temporarily supply water to affected government offices starting next week

Hong Kong authorities have partially terminated a new bottled water supply contract awarded to a mainland Chinese company for certain government offices and reported the matter to police.

The Government Logistics Department said on Saturday that it doubted Xin Ding Xin Trade Co Ltd would still be capable of fulfilling the 36-month contract, which it won just two months ago.

The agreement covered the supply of bottled drinking water to government offices on Hong Kong Island and some outlying islands, starting from the end of June.
