(b) Boundary Street between Waterloo Road and Embankment Road.

The 8 inch and 10 inch undersized pipes were replaced with 12 inch to improve the supply to the Tsim Tsa Tsui area.

In connection with the road reconstruction, a new 18 inch main was laid which will form part of the outlet from the new Ma Tau Wei Service Reservoir.
317. Service Reservoirs. All the service reservoirs were cleaned and examined. Repairs were carried out as necessary, which in the case of Mt. Gough tank involved the laying of a new invert and guniting the inside walls of the tank. Arrangements were commenced for the Peak tank to be similarly treated as part of the effort to eliminate the pollution of the Peak supply.
318. Catchwaters. Minor maintenance repairs were undertaken to all catchwaters and foot bridges were replaced on the fourth section of the Shing Mun Catchwater.
319. New Pumping Plant. The electrically driven set for Bowen Road which was mentioned in last year's report was received in March and its installation commenced.
The new unit for Elliot Pumping Station was not received. An order was placed for the switchgear and cables required for this unit. The need for additional pumping capacity from Eastern to Jardines Lookout etc. was explained in last year's report. The oil engine on order was, however, not delivered.
