Work on construction of Stage 1 of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme commenced in 1994.

This stage comprised the construction of a chemically-enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) plant at Stonecutters Island, an interim outfall tunnel, the comprehensive upgrading of seven preliminary treatment works and seven tunnels for collecting sewage from urban Kowloon, Tsing Yi, Kwai Chung, Tseung Kwan O and eastern Hong Kong Island and conveying it to Stonecutters Island.

The tunnel system was brought into operation between November and December 2001.
