Salt Water Flushing Systems in Kowloon
7.62. Jordan Valley. Due to the growth of Kowloon Bay reclamation the position of the temporary Jordan Valley foreshore sea water pumping station has become untenable. The demand of the area must be met from the extended Kwun Tong pumping station thus requiring a 24" dia. main in Ngau Tau Kok Road of which 2,103 ft. were laid out of a total requirement of 9,500 ft.
7.63. Kwun Tong. Nearly 8,000 ft. of 8", 6", 4" and 3" dia. asbestos cement mains were laid to extend the existing distribution system.
7.64. Wong Tai Sin (Kai Tak). About 3,700 ft. of 15", 8", 6", 4" and 3" dia. asbestos cement mains were laid to extend the existing distribution system. Due to the increased demand an additional 3 million gallons per day pump was installed in the existing pump house, the intake of which was extended by a 48" pipe beyond the reclaimed area of Kowloon Bay as a temporary measure.
7.65. Kowloon East. To supply the area with flushing water, a pump house on the Tai Wan Water Front will pump sea water to the existing reservoirs at Diamond Hill and Lo Fu Ngam. This system will permit the removal of the Kai Tak pump house, the position of which is becoming increasingly untenable due to the growth of the Kowloon Bay reclamation.
7.66. Tenders were invited for the supply of pipes and valves for the 30" dia. main of which 600 ft. have been laid.

7.67. The concrete frame for the three additional floors being added to the existing building was completed and the brickwork panelling started. An electrical wiring sub-contract was awarded and tenders invited for the supply of the air-conditioning plant.
Castle Peak Water Supply-Trunk Feed
7.68. Exploratory drilling was started on the tunnel line which may be used to supply untreated water from Tai Lam Chung.
Tsuen Wan Kwai Chung Development-Water Supply
7.69. This is a complex scheme to provide both fresh and flushing water to this new development. The supply of fresh water to the reclaimed area of Gin Drinker's Bay from Lai Chi Kok Service Reservoir by 12,500 ft. of trunk main of 48", 36" and 30" dia. steel pipes was completed. The supply of sea water flushing is to be from a sea water pumping station at Tsuen Wan by a 15" dia. main, for which tenders have been
