13. A
A scheme to improve the Stanley District Water Supply was approved and a Paterson Pressure Filtration Plant to deal with 200,000 gallons per day was ordered from England. Tenders for the construction of two covered service reservoirs were called for at the end of the year, one of 200,000 gallons capacity and the other of 80,000 gallons capacity. The latter is intended principally for the New Prison. During the year the following lengths of main were laid at Stanley: 714 feet of 6", 1,248 feet of 5″, 2,438 feet of 4″ and 4,146 feet of 3″.
14. In Kowloon and New Kowloon the following mains were laid:- 850 feet of 12", 4,285 feet of 8", 575 feet of 6" and 3,606 feet of 4", 9,126 feet of subsidiary mains were also laid in back lanes. At the Air Port 920 feet of 6" main were laid. At Taipo 3,657 feet of 6″, 1,230 feet of 3" and 525 feet of 2" piping were laid to complete the scheme. At Un Long 450 feet of 6", 870 feet of 5" and 1,370 feet of 4" mains were laid. The scheme was completed in June and a satisfactory supply maintained to the end of the year.
15. A small supply scheme for Castle Peak was investigated.
16. The second sections of the Dragon's Back and Mount Parker Catchwaters were completed during the year thus completing the construction of catchwaters under the scheme. Two roller sluice gates were ordered from England to bypass the discharge of the Tytam Tuk East Catchwater when Tytam Tuk Reservoir is full.
17. The laying of the second Cross Harbour Pipe (18″ diameter) was completed during the first half of the year.
RECLAMATIONS.
18. A sea wall extending 700 feet eastwards from M.L. 431 was constructed to low water level on the seaward limit of the area to be reclaimed at North Point, about two acres of this area was reclaimed. The construction of a length of about 700 lineal feet of sea wall at Kennedy Town together with a live stock landing were completed to cope level and approximately one acre of the area at the back of the sea wall was reclaimed. About 300 feet of sea and quay walling were completed at Ma Tau Kok and an area of approximately one acre reclaimed. The rubble foundations of the sea wall at Kun Tong were extended a distance of 800 feet, making a total of 3,500 lineal feet and the sea wall to protect the southern section of the reclamation was constructed for a distance of 900 lineal feet. Over 2,000,000 cube yards of harbour dredging have been dumped within the protected area bringing an area of about twenty acres up to the level of low water approximately.
