Sheung Shui-Tai Po Supply
7.92. The focal point at Tai Po Tau of the confluence of supplies from China and the River Indus with that from Plover Cove, provides a central location for the treatment of this raw water to meet the demands of both the Sheung Shui and Tai Po areas. Provision has been made in the Tai Po Tau pumping station, constructed as part of the Plover Cove Scheme, to accommodate pumps which will draw from the intake provided by the Tai Po Tau fabridam. These pumps are to raise the water to a site on top of a hill behind the pumping station. The site is of sufficient size to accommodate a 24 million gallons per day treatment works which will ultimately be required and also a 4 million gallon service reservoir. However, the treatment plant to be ordered will meet a demand of 6 million gallons per day as a first stage.
7.93. The formation of the treatment works site was 75% complete. Tenders were received for the supply of the equipment.
Tsing Lung Tau Unfiltered Supply
7.94. The demand for an industrial water supply at Tsing Lung Tau was such as to warrant the provision of a 21" dia. raw water pipe line to draw from the Tai Lam Chung trunk feed at Sham Tseng. The capacity is, however, sufficient to meet the domestic demand which the provision of this supply is anticipated to precipitate.
7.95. The delivery of the pipes was completed and a contract let for their laying.
Western New Territories Supplies and Yuen Long Balance Tank
7.96. The 2 million gallon per day treatment works at Lam Ti was completed in June. From the treatment works, the remaining 15,000 ft. of the 17,000 ft. long 18" dia. trunk feed were laid to complete this pipe line in August and then put into service to improve supplies to Yuen Long. Site investigations were in hand for the proposed balance tank to be constructed near Yuen Long at the eastern extremity of the 18" dia. trunk feed.
Shap Pat Heung and Pat Heung Water Supplies
7.97. 11,300 ft. of 2″ and 3″ dia. Galvanized Iron pipe together with a roughing filter to provide some treatment of raw water from the Wong Nai Tun irrigation dam to meet the Shap Pat Heung demand was completed.
