quantities of sewage which are expected in the next 10-15 years owing to the rapid population growth and planned improvements to water supplies.
6.05. On Hong Kong Island work commenced on the construction of the Belcher's Street Intercepting Sewer in Kennedy Town in continuation of the policy of removing numerous small seawall discharges and concentrating the effluent into one submarine outfall. Float tests were carried out to ascertain the best location for this outfall so that the sewage will be rapidly dispersed by tidal currents.
6.06. A screening plant for the Kowloon South Sewerage Scheme was completed at Tsim Sha Tsui and the construction of a 66″ diameter submarine outfall was commenced. Another screening plant to serve the Kowloon East area was under construction in To Kwa Wan adjacent to the Kai Tak Airport Runway.
6.07. In the New Territories the Tsuen Wan sewerage system was extended considerably during the year and the Kwai Chung Intercepting Sewer was completed.
STORMWATER DRAINS AND RIVER TRAINING
6.08. On Hong Kong Island stormwater drains were constructed to improve the amenities at South Bay and Middle Bay Beaches. Albany Nullah under Queen's Road East was realigned and a culvert for the Utility Companies' pipes and cables built adjacent to it. In order to improve the stability of Pokfulam Dump construction of a culvert was commenced to divert the stream courses which at present run under the dump.
6.09. Construction of a 72″ diameter Intercepting Stormwater Drain was started in King Lam Street, Lai Chi Kok, N. Kowloon. This will collect storm water off the hilly area north of this street and replace the existing open nullah.
6.10. River training works at Yuen Long in the New Territories were continued and by the end of the year all those channels in the vicinity of the town had either been completed or were in hand.
NULLAH DECKING AND RECONSTRUCTION
6.11. In Hong Kong the decking of further lengths of Bowrington Canal and Tong Shui Road Nullah was commenced in order to eliminate sanitary nuisance; the paved areas formed are to be used for hawker and cooked food stalls and car parking.
