7.01. Apart from a short period of water restrictions which had to be imposed on Hong Kong Island due to damage caused to installations by the June rainstorm, a 24-hour supply was maintained throughout the urban areas until the 15th February, when the supply was reduced to 16 hours a day. This was necessary in view of the low storage position resulting from the very low rainfall since the end of August 1966. Following talks in November, the People's Council of Kwantung Province agreed to make an additional 1,800 million gallons available from Sham Chun and in December agreed to the daily draw off being increased from 62 to 64.9 million gallons a day.
