Q 80
Item (v). Some of the pipes recovered, in the execution of item (i), from the old rising mains supplying the Hill District were utilized for intercepting the waters of another stream to the north-westward of the filter-beds and service reservoir recently constructed near Sywan Gap for the supply of the Shaukiwan District, thus augmenting the supply.
Item (vi). The principal object of this main was to increase the supply of water to properties to the eastward of Causeway Bay and to afford an alternative means of supply to such properties in the event of a burst occurring in the neighbourhood of East Point. As the district indicated has hitherto been dependent for its supply upon one line of main, the risk of interruption of the supply owing to bursts was very great.
No progress was made with the extension of Fire Hydrants, etc., Kennedy Road, referred to in the Report for 1914 as the diversion of Kennedy Road has not been carried out.
