The new plant has been constructed inside one of the three old Siow sand beds, and the other two beds have been roofed over and made into additional service reservoirs to feed the Kennedy Road District. Additional head has thereby been obtained for No. 4 Hydraulic Motor, which shows a large increase in output.
The leakage from Wongneichong Reservoir has been picked up below the dam and conveyed by means of a 2" dia. W.I. pipe to a small service reservoir on the hill behind Deep Water Bay. This supply is being utilized for supplying R.B.L. 245 and distribution pipes have been laid in the roads.
Considerable investigation work was carried out in connection with a proposed scheme for the development of the Aberdeen Valley.
Kowloon.-The following lengths of cast iron distribution mains were laid: 450 lin. feet of 3″ dia. 870 lin. ft. of 4" dia., 8,110 lin. ft. of 6" dia., 1,750 lin. ft. of 8″ dia, and 750 lin. ft. of 18″ dia.
New Kowloon.-An additional length of 4,000 lin. ft. of 6" C.I. pipes was laid in the Kowloon Tong Development area.
New Territories.-Shing Mun Valley Scheme. A length of about eighty feet of the North Tunnel was straightened, and considerable lengths of pathways, copings and channelling were completed.
Pipe laying commenced in August and a total length of 3,230 lin. feet of 24" dia. steel main had been laid by the end of the year. The two reinforced concrete bridges over the Sheklaipui Stream were completed.
Construction of the Fast Gravity Filter Beds and Chemical House was commenced during the year and fair progress was made.
