You should report the seepage problem to the Joint Office of "Buildings Department" and "Food and Environmental Hygiene Department" at its telephone number 1823.
The Joint Office has legal power to identify the source of seepage posing a health nuisance; and to issue a wrongdoer a Nuisance Notice requiring the abatement of nuisance; and to prosecute the wrongdoer. Upon conviction, the penalty will be a maximum fine of $25,000 and a daily fine of $450.
