[edit] History

The main dam of Jordan Valley Reservoir

The reservoir was built in the 1950s which provided flushing water to residents in Ngau Tau Kok. The reservoir has since become disused and is now a refuse reclamation area. A battery was also found in Jordon Valley quarry but was later removed due to the urban development project.
