60. Maintenance of Waterworks, Shaukiwan. A full supply of water was maintained from the beginning of the year until the middle of March when the streams had dropped to such an extent that it was found necessary to curtail the supply. By the end of March, the streams had fallen so low that the supply became totally inadequate. Through the courtesy of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, a connection was made to the Taikoo Private Waterworks, and by this means, the supply was maintained from 22nd March to 6th May when the streams had sufficiently recovered to enable a supply to be maintained from the Shaukiwan Waterworks.
The total quantity of water drawn from the Taikoo Waterworks was about 620,000 gallons.
The total consumption for the year amounted to 59.37 million gallons, including 2.80 million gallons to the Barracks at Saiwan and 2.02 million gallons supplied to the boat population, or an average of about 162,000 gallons per day.
Details of the consumption are given in Annexe F. There were 14 meters in use at the close of the year.
