Service Reservoirs
317. (1) Tai Po Road
Excavation work neared completion at Piper's Hill, the site of a 3-million gallon service reservoir to supply So Uk Housing Estate and adjoining high-level development.
(2) King's Park
Excavation work started on a 6-million gallon service reservoir to augment the supply to Tsim Sha Tsui, now served by the overloaded Yau Ma Tei Service Reservoir.
North Point Water Supply
318. The extension of the Tin Hau Temple Road allowed excavation works to begin on the site of a 5-million gallon service reservoir to replace the one serving the rapidly developing low-level area at North Point. An access road was formed to enable excavation work to begin on a second and higher service reservoir of 1-million gallon capacity, to supply the areas opened up by the Tin Hau Temple Road extension.
Aberdeen Water Supply, Stage I
319. Excavation work was completed on the site of a new 5-million gallon service reservoir beside the existing slow sand filters, to meet increasing demand in Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau, and a contract was let for the construction of the first half of it. Rapid gravity filtration equipment of 5 million gallons per day capacity was ordered, to replace the slow sand filters. Special 6-inch diameter steel pipes arrived from the United Kingdom to replace the 3-inch submarine supply main to Ap Lei Chau.
Western New Territories Supply, Stage I
320. The 1-million gallon service reservoir at Tai Lam Chung neared completion and the 4 miles long 8-inch diameter trunk main reached Castle Peak Market and San Hui.
Western New Territories Supply, Stage II
321. The purpose of this stage of the overall plan for the Western New Territories Supply is to bring raw water through a new 15-inch diameter pipeline from Tai Lam Chung along the Castle Peak Road towards Yuen Long. At Lam Tei, a pumping station will raise the raw water to a new filtration plant and 2-million gallon service reservoir on the hills above. From there, the water will gravitate to Ping Shan, Yuen Long, Kam Tin, and the Military areas at Sek Kong.
