Tabulated statements containing particulars of the quantities pumped to the High Levels and the Hill District respectively will be found in Appendix E.
The new rising main (partly 5" and partly 6" diameter) which arrived from England at the end of 1907 was laid from Bonham Road Pumping Station to the service reservoir at Victoria Peak.
The 8-inch rising main was extended from the service reservoir (600 feet level) at West Point to the new service reservoir referred to in last year's report (750 feet level).
All motors, engines and station buildings were kept in a good state of repair during the year.
The number of meters in use at the end of the year was 1,070 in the City and 165 in the Hill District, or a total of 1,235 as compared with 1,005 and 164 in 1907, or a total of 1,169.
The quantity of water supplied by meter was as follows:—
Filtered: Trade 172,787,000 gallons Domestic (City) 102,556,000 Domestic (Hill District) 27,633,000 Unfiltered: 21,854,000 Total 324,830,000This shows an increase of 44,765,000 gallons in the quantity of water supplied by meter over 1907.
New services were constructed or old ones repaired, altered, improved or connected to the mains to the number of 678, and 34 supplies were laid on for building purposes.
The number of inspections of private services was 4,839; all defects were made good after the usual notices (1,137 in all) had been served.
58. Maintenance of Kowloon Waterworks.-The total quantity of water supplied amounted to 296,797,000 gallons, which gives a daily consumption of about 813,140 gallons or, taking an estimated population of 82,900, 9.7 gallons per head per day. These figures show an increase of 60,531,000 gallons over the quantity supplied during 1907. Details are given in Appendices F and G.
The supply was constant throughout the year and the Government Analyst reported that the water was of excellent quality.
The various buildings were maintained in good repair.
A new distribution main, varying from 12" to 8" in diameter, was laid in order to give an increased supply to the Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom Districts. Commencing at the intersection of Shanghai Street and Waterloo Road, it extends along the latter as far as Nathan Road which it follows until it joins the 7-inch main previously laid up to Kansu Street. From this point an 8-inch branch is connected to the 8-inch main in Gascoigne Road. The cost was defrayed out of the vote for maintenance.
There were 165 meters in use at the end of the year, an increase of 1 over 1907.
Private services were constructed, altered or repaired in 68 instances and 10 building supplies were laid on.
59. Maintenance of Aberdeen and Shaukiwan Waterworks.-A satisfactory supply of water was maintained throughout the year at both these villages, the total consumption amounting to 4,580,000 and 22,077,000 gallons respectively, or about 13,000 and 60,000 gallons per day.
