Service Reservoirs
321. All service reservoirs were cleaned and sterilized, their inlet and outlet valves were tested and where necessary overhauled.
322. Fresh water service reservoirs at Tai Po Road and Kau Wah Keng in Kowloon were completed and those at King's Park and North Point were sufficiently completed for one half to be brought into commission while work on the remaining half proceeded.
323. The salt water service reservoir at Piper's Hill was commissioned.
Catchwaters
324. The usual troubles from blocked catchwaters due to landslips following heavy summer rains were experienced, but no major damage was sustained, clearance being effected in time to avoid serious loss of inflow to the reservoirs.
325. Major blockages occurred in the Tai Tam group of catchwaters, and in the Jubilee catchwaters where reconstruction of a section became necessary. Improvements carried out in 1959-60 proved their worth and undoubtedly prevented further major damage.
326. Flood diversion gates were installed on some of the new Tai Lam Chung catchwaters.
Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong Supplies
327. To meet new development, extension of the distribution systems continued in conjunction with the formation of roads,
