As part of a 10-year Landslip Preventive Measures Programme that commenced in 2000 to enhance the maintenance of slopes, the Buildings Department issued 222 orders to building owners requiring them to investigate and upgrade their substandard slopes. In addition, the department investigated a total of 510 filled slopes and issued nine orders requiring the owners concerned to investigate and repair the buried water-carrying services which might affect slope safety.
