The Quality Water Recognition Scheme for Buildings (QWRSB) Certificate Presentation Ceremony 2008 was held on 11 September 2008 at the Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers. 2,144 certificates were awarded to property owners, owners' corporations, property management companies, and management agents of hospitals, hotels, schools, universities and public institutions to recognize their efforts in proper maintenance of their fresh water plumbing systems. The number of certificates increases this year when compared to the 1,804 certificates awarded last year.

Director of Water Supplies, Mr. MA Lee Tak encouraged property owners, owners' corporations and building management agents to join the QWRSB, to enhance maintenance of fresh water plumbing systems to prevent water wastage due to leakage. Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Advisory Committee on the Quality of Water Supplies, Professor HO Kin Chung, said a recent survey conducted by the Department showed that the satisfaction rate of domestic and commercial customers with WSD's overall services had substantially increased to 91.9% and 95.1% respectively.
