involved the installation of 77 standpipes, the provision of 8 connexions to multi-storey blocks of flats and the laying of approximately 18,000 feet of piping from 6 inch to 1 inch diameter.
(c) Tai Hang Tung. As a result of a disastrous fire in September, a resettlement scheme consisting of many multi-storey blocks of flats to accommodate approximately 60,000 persons was commenced at Tai Hang Tung. To provide a water supply for many people in an area which had not previously been supplied with mains water required the enlarging of principal mains in the vicinity. Work was accordingly commenced on the enlarging of the existing 6 inch and 8 inch mains to 8 inch and 12 inch respectively. Inside the area itself the laying of distribution mains and the installation of standpipes was also put in hand.
333. Boring. A new diesel powered diamond rotary core drilling machine was received. The new machine and the two old rigs were fully employed on work in connexion with the Tai Lam Chung Scheme, the Cheung Chau Scheme, the new airport and various proposed service reservoirs.
334. Irrigation-New Territories. Fourteen schemes which will benefit approximately 2,300 acres in various parts of the New Territories were completed. The work involved:
(1) the construction of 23 diversion dams;
(2) the formation of 5 ponds to retain spring water;
(3) the sinking of 9 wells each 30 feet deep;
(4) the formation of approximately 13,500 feet of concrete lined channels;
(5) the installation of one 6 inch diesel pumping set and the laying of approximately 1,000 feet of 6 inch diameter pipeline.
