was in operation throughout the year. Under the Agreement with the People's Council of Kwantung Province, 15,053 million gallons of water was received from China. Heavy rainfall in June and August filled nearly all reservoirs except Plover Cove but rainfall in September was exceptionally low. The normal dry season started with 14,680 million gallons or 87.2% of the total storage in the older reservoirs while the storage in Plover Cove Reservoir totalled 28,840 million gallons of water with a salinity of 480 parts per million of sodium chloride.
8.09. The 24-hour daily supply which had been generally maintained since 1st October, 1967 was continued throughout the year. Average daily consumption was 140.1 million gallons and a peak daily demand of 173.1 million gallons was recorded on 27th August, 1968. Winter consumption was higher than expected and averaged 135.0 million gallons per day during the period 1st October, 1968 to 31st March, 1969, showing an 18% increase compared with the figures recorded for the corresponding period of full supply in 1967-68.
8.10. Some damage was caused to installations during the heavy rainstorms of June and August and the total expenditure on repair work amounted to approximately $1.4 million.
8.11. The routine work of the Division includes overhaul and repainting of control gates, maintenance of access roads, treatment works and compounds, and the inspection and cleaning of service reservoirs.
8.12. New fresh water service reservoirs with a total capacity of over 68 million gallons at Shek Kip Mei, Ho Man Tin, Yau Tong, Jardines Lookout, Tai Hang, Stubbs Road, Aberdeen and a salt water service reservoir at Yau Tong were commissioned.
Distribution Section
8.13. Work continued on distribution mains extensions to serve new development. Undersized or defective mains were removed and alterations were made as necessary to facilitate road construction work. In addition to specific projects, approximately 39 miles of mains were laid to form extensions to the fresh and salt water distribution systems.
Waste Detection Section
8.14. Systematic waste detection was continued throughout the year and 499 areas were checked. A number of major leaks were discovered and repaired resulting in an estimated daily saving of over four and a quarter million gallons of water.
