Public Works Office, Hong Kong, 3rd August, 1894.

Hong Kong Kowloon Waterworks.

I have the honour to forward you the following short description of the Kowloon Waterworks, accompanied by six photographs and request that they may be transmitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for the information of the Colonial Office.

Description

Prior to the completion of the works about to be described the inhabitants of that portion of territory known as Kowloon were entirely dependent upon wells or streams in the immediate neighbourhood of their dwellings for their water supply. The rapidly-increasing population and the establishment and growth of industrial enterprises made it imperative that a supply should be introduced from sources less liable to contamination.

Accordingly in 1893 works were undertaken on lines which had been sketched out by Mr. Osbert Chadwick.

The Honourable,

The Colonial Secretary
