89. Maintenance of City and Hill District Water Works. The year opened with an unrestricted supply in all districts East of Eastern Street and a street fountain supply in the district west of Eastern Street. On 16th January, however, it was necessary to close all Rider Mains and substitute a constant street fountain supply throughout the whole city. With the exception of three days unrestricted supply at Chinese New Year (February 15th-17th) the street fountain supply was in operation until 24th April. On 25th April all Rider Mains were opened and an unrestricted supply was maintained until the end of the year.
An unrestricted supply was therefore maintained for 244 days during the year as compared with ninety-seven days in 1930.
