very badly and approximately 7,000 feet of the dry weather flow channel was completely reconstructed. Minor repairs to prevent leaks were effected on all the others, and many small landslides were cleared and the catchwaters desilted.
303. In order to obtain data for the economical design of the many miles of catchwaters which have to be built for Tai Lam Chung Scheme, a measuring flume was constructed and a flow recorder installed in the Shing Mun catchwater.
New Pumping Plant.
304. Eastern Station. An oil engine pumping unit was received the previous year with its fly wheel damaged. A replacement was obtained and the set installed, tested and put into operation.
305. Elliot Station. The pumping equipment ordered in 1953/54 was not delivered but the Crown Agents advised that it would be shipped towards the end of March.
306. Aberdeen Trunk Main. One of the oil engine units taken over last year from the Port Works dredger was after an overhaul installed as a booster on the Aberdeen/Elliot pipeline and, as a result, 50% more water can be pumped daily to Elliot Filters from the Aberdeen Reservoir.
Kowloon Rapid Gravity Filters.
307. All the equipment for the new 7 million gallon per day capacity filters was delivered and installed, and the plant put into operation. A contract was let for the construction of a 5 million gallon service reservoir on a site adjacent to the new filters. One half of the reservoir was completed and put into service.
Tytam-Shaukiwan Supply.
308. All the equipment for the new 3 million gallon per day capacity filters was delivered and installed, and the plant put into operation. The construction of a 4 million gallon service reservoir adjacent to the filters was also completed and put into service in conjunction with the filters.
Eastern and Albany Conversion Scheme and Tin Hau Temple Road Supply.
309. The details of this scheme were given in last year's report. The reservoir site is on the hillside above King's Road,
