7.01. The considerable general improvement in the water supply position recorded last year was maintained and a continuous 24-hour supply was provided to urban areas throughout the year. The change was due not only to above average rainfall but also to the combined effect of increased supplies from China and the commissioning of new waterworks installations. However, to cover increasing costs, particularly of the Plover Cove and Shek Pik Water supply schemes, it became necessary to raise the price of water and from the 1st July, 1965, for domestic and industrial users it was accordingly raised from $1.00 to $2.00 per thousand gallons and for ocean-going ships and for building contractors from $3.00 to $5.00 per thousand gallons. At the same time, it was decided that supplies to new buildings should be separately metered for each flat or tenement.
7.02. Details of rainfall, storage, consumption and other general statistics are given in Appendix P.
