increasing use of automatic controls for waterworks installations, it was decided to separate the Electrical section into three sub-sections to deal with high tension, low tension and instrumentation. New workshops were accordingly being set up at Bullock Lane and Argyle Street depots for this purpose. It was decided to let contracts for electrical maintenance works in order to deal more effectively with electrical installation and repair.
7.23. An automatic control system to link the treatment works, pumping stations and service reservoirs in the Tsuen Wan/Kwai Chung Development was designed and the bulk of the necessary equipment ordered. Cable ducts were being laid in conjunction with mainlaying. Air conditioning plant was installed by contract at the new offices at Argyle Street depot and tenders were received for the supply and installation of air-conditioning plant at Bullock Lane depot.

7.24. The division is responsible for the design and preparation of contracts and supervision of the construction of all new water supply works other than certain schemes being carried out by consulting engineers and also some minor works carried out by the Distribution division.
7.25. The extensive construction programme continued throughout the year with an expenditure by the division of nearly $55 million compared with $47 million last year. Five fresh water and three salt water service reservoirs were completed and construction finished on seven fresh water and one salt water pumping stations. In addition a further thirty miles of trunk main were laid ranging in diameter from 21-ins. up to 54-ins.
7.26. Appendix O gives full details of works under construction and completed during the year.
