DRAINAGE
All the urban areas and the newly-developing townships now have waterborne sewerage systems although, in a few areas, there are buildings which are not yet connected to the sewers. En- couraging progress has been maintained on the programme of works for duplicating and replacing existing sewers in older areas of the system which are now of inadequate capacity and for constructing large intercepting sewers leading to suitable submarine outfalls, including new sewers in Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon City, Wan Chai, Central and Shau Kei Wan districts. as well as Aberdeen and the new Waterfront Road.
An extensive hydrological survey of the waters of Tolo Harbour, Victoria Harbour and the associated tidal water past Tsuen Wan to Castle Peak has just been completed by Consulting Engineers working in association with the staff of the Public Works Depart- ment. The results of the survey will influence the siting and design of submarine outfalls and the degree of treatment of sewage prior to discharge into the sea to ensure adequate dilution and dispersion
