Q 73
P.W.E. Hongkong.
(1.) A storage reservoir, known as "Taitam Intermediate Reservoir", having a capacity of 195,914,000 gallons to permanent overflow level, capable of being increased to 210,400,000 gallons by the insertion of sluice boards.
(ii) A pumping station on the west shore of Taitam Bay, with quarters for a European Overseer and for Chinese engine-drivers, &c.
(iii) Two sets of pumping machinery, each capable of raising 14 million gallons per day from the storage reservoir to the entrance to the Taitam tunnel.
(iv.) A road from the Shaukiwan-Stanley Road to near the Taitam Byewash Dam, for the accommodation of the rising mains.
(v.) Access roads to the Pumping Station, to the gauge basin at the entrance to the Taitam tunnel and from the old Stanley Road round the shore of Taitam Bay to the pumping station.
(vi.) A rising main, 18" diameter and 1.93 miles in length, from the pumping station to the entrance to the Taitam tunnel.
(vii.) A suction main, 18" diameter and 1.37 miles in length, from the storage reservoir to the pumping station.
On the completion of these works, which were designed with a view to their embodiment in a much greater scheme, it was considered that the finances of the Colony did not permit of the more extensive scheme contemplated being proceeded with and the matter therefore remained in abeyance until October, 1912, when a Contract was let for the carrying out of the Taitam Tuk Scheme,— "Second Section".
The "Second Section" comprised the following works :-
(i.) A Storage Reservoir at sea-level, known as the Taitam Tuk Reservoir, having a capacity of 1,420 million gallons.
(ii.) An extension of the pumping station on the shore of Taitam Bay to accommodate additional pumping machinery.
(iii) Two additional sets of pumping machinery, each capable of raising 3 million gallons per day from the storage reservoir to the entrance to the Taitam tunnel.
(iv.) Two suction mains, 18" diameter and 0.52 mile in length from the draw-off tower of the storage reservoir to the pumping station.
(v.) Two additional rising mains, 18" diameter and 1.93 miles in length (making three in all) from the pumping station to the entrance to the Taitam tunnel.
