Additional main from Filter Beds to Yau Ma Tei.—A number of surplus 18" pipes remaining over from the Tai Tam Tuk Scheme (2nd Section) were utilized for this work and an appreciable improvement in the delivery into the Kowloon Tong Reservoir has resulted. The length laid amounted to 1,800 lineal feet or fully ¾ mile and the work was nearly completed by the close of the year.
Owing to the war, it is regarded as impracticable to obtain the additional pipes required (about 2¼ miles in all) to complete the main throughout and the work is therefore in suspense.
