THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1897.

Pumping was begun on the 24th December, 1895, and since then a constant supply of water to the whole of the district served has been maintained. Analyses of samples of the water obtained from the fountains have been made from time to time and have proved that the quality of the supply is excellent. That the works have contributed materially to the development of Kowloon there can be little doubt judging from the rapid expansion which has taken place since their inauguration.

The total cost has been as follows:-

Preliminary Works,

Dams, wells, reservoirs, etc., Pumping Station Buildings. Pumping machinery and boilers, Pipes, valves, fountains, etc.,
