From the break pressure tank the delivery main 18ín, in diame- ter and 2,700 feet long would run along the Pokfulam Road and finally discharge in to the exist- ing Elliott Filter Beds.
Filter Beds.
The Elliot Filter Beds have a total area of approximately 4,400 | square yards capable of efficiently filtering 1 million gallons per day while in full operation.
At certain periods of the year it will be necessary to deal with about 2 million gallons per day and I would propose to construct additional beds up to an area of about 2,000 square yards.
The beds would be practically similar to the existing Elliott Beds.

I would propose some small alterations at Pokfulam Reser- voir, so that the head of the Re- servoir might be utilised. I would also propose to lay a 10in. .cast iron or Steel main from the Re- THE KOWLOON MOTOR BUS servoir to join the new 18in. maln
