74. Maintenance of Sewers and Storm Water Drains:- Throughout the year the sewer and storm-water drainage systems of the Colony were maintained in a satisfactory state. Many defective and missing cast-iron surface fittings were renewed where necessary. There was a marked decline in the petty larcenies of covers, frames and gratings. Periodical cleaning of open nullahs within the City limits was undertaken by the Urban Council. The Septic Tanks at Repulse and Deep Water Bays were desludged and minor repairs thereto were completed. The total number of choked Government sewer and storm-water drains cleared during the year was 5,728, a monthly average of 477. Chokes and defects in private drainage systems were dealt with by property owners through the offices of the Urban Council and the Buildings Ordinance Office.
75. Maintenance of Anti-Malarial Works:- A continuation of the previous year's activities was made in bringing to an efficient state of maintenance the many open channels throughout the Colony. The clearing of undergrowth, boulders and sand in the smaller nullahs were carried out by departmental labour. The areas treated were situated at Mt. Parker, Sookunpoo, Pokfulam and Shaukiwan East on the Island and at Kowloon Tsai on the Mainland.
