(iii) Substituting 3" main for old 2" main round Mount Kellett, (not completed), - 2,784
(iv.) Renewing portion of 5" main from No. 4 Motor, Bowen Road, to 650 service reservoir, (completed), - 1,186
(v.) Connecting up ends of existing mains near Wongneichong Village, (completed), - 1,267

Item (i.) The reasons for this work were stated in last year's Report.
Item (ii.) This was necessary owing to the invert of the catchwater channel having been worn away by sand, &c., conveyed by the water during rainstorms. In reconstructing the invert, glazed half-pipes were inserted to take the dry-weather flow and the shape of the invert was improved.
Item (iii) The new main was laid, but the old main was not removed nor the road surface made good by the end of the year.
Item (iv.) This was necessary owing to the corrosion of the old pipes which had been laid in 1900.
Items (v.) & (vi.) These connections were made for the purpose of improving the circulation of water in the mains and affording better pressure.
Item (vii.) The provision of floor plates was found to be necessary in connection with the execution of ordinary maintenance work and repairs, and some additional support was also required for the valve spindles.
Item (viii.) Under the Conditions of Sale for R.B.L. 133, a sum of $500 was paid into the Treasury for the removal of the tank in question. As mentioned in last year's Report, this sum was credited to the Vote in 1910.
