(3) Jordan Valley
This project consists of a 90-foot high dam to impound 54 million gallons of stream water supplemented by sea water pumped during periods of low yield. The dam construction ultimately made good progress after initial difficulties in finding a solid foundation.
(4) Kwun Tong
This scheme, which is similar to that at Jordan Valley, but designed for 14 million gallons of flushing water, approached completion with only the installation of the pumping equipment being outstanding.
(5) North Point
Although the -million-gallon high level service reservoir became available, the operation of this system is dependent upon the construction of pump houses at the new vehicular ferry pier, North Point, and on the existing fresh water service reservoir which will be converted to supply flushing water on completion of the new 5-million-gallon fresh water service reservoir on Tin Hau Temple Road.
(6) Chai Wan
With completion of the service reservoir and pump house, temporary mobile pumps were used to provide a limited supply pending the installation of the permanent pumping equipment.
Eastern and Albany Filters Conversion Scheme and Tin Hau Temple Road Supply
335. The 1-million-gallon capacity high level service reservoir was completed and work continued on a 5-million-gallon service reservoir at the lower level, the first half being put into use on completion. Construction of the pumping station to supply the high level reservoir and the building of staff quarters continued satisfactorily.
Aberdeen Water Supply, Stage I
336. Work on this project reached an advanced stage with the completion of the 5-million-gallon service reservoir; the building of the 6-million-gallon a day rapid gravity filter station made good progress.
337. Quarters for the staff to operate the new filters have yet to be provided.
Western New Territories Supply, Stage II
338. Tenders were invited for the new Yuen Long filter station and a 2-million-gallon service reservoir.
Irrigation Works in the New Territories
339. Minor items of work carried out to an approved programme included the provision of irrigation channels and diversion dams. Rainstorm and flood damage created a considerable amount of repair work.
