to that adopted at Tai Wai. It gave was built across the stream, whence the water was conducted in an open channel, 2,100 feet long, to a tank near the sea-shore. From this point, three lines of cast iron pipes, supported on trestles, were laid for a distance of 1,700 feet across the foreshore to where lighters could be loaded at all states of the tide. A large tank, into which the water was to be pumped, was fitted up at Ship Street, arrangements being provided for drawing off the supply. These works were completed, but were not brought into service on account of the rainy season setting in before they could be.

In order to supply additional areas in the central and western low-level district, beyond that already supplied from Tai Wai, works were undertaken for bringing water from a stream at Tai Hang Tung, near Castle Peak Bay and distant 18 miles from Blake Pier. These works comprised the construction of a dam, 1,206 lineal feet of open channel, 2 miles of cast iron pipes, 12 inches in diameter, trestle bridges over ravines, and a trestle pier at the sea shore. Brick tanks, each having a capacity of 34,000 gallons, were constructed to receive the water from this source.
