10.49. A preliminary study on the feasibility and economics of converting an old service reservoir at Bowen Road into a salt water service reservoir was in progress.
10.50. An assessment of the future water demand from proposed development in the high level areas of Ngau Chi Wan, Hammer Hill and Clear Water Bay Road was in hand.
10.51. Planning reports were completed for proposed water supplies to Sai Kung Town and to the Lantau villages of Tai O and Mui Wo.
10.52. Experiments were carried out into the effect of heavy intermittent chlorination on marine growths in salt water mains.
10.53. A study was in hand on the adequacy of existing treatment works, service reservoirs and trunk supply mains in relation to both demand trends and the possible implementation of the High Island Water Scheme.
General
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DIVISION
Chief Engineer:
R. J. JOHNSON, C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E., A.M.I.W.E.
10.54. The Division is responsible, in association with other divisions, for the operation and maintenance of all waterworks electrical and mechanical plant and equipment; for the design, procurement, installation and commissioning of all new waterworks plant in the Colony with the exception of the plant associated with the Plover Cove Water Scheme.
10.55. Two workshops, one on the Island and one in Kowloon carry out maintenance and repair works on mechanical and electrical plant as well as manufacturing specialist items for new works. The workshops employ the latest machine tools and employ turners, fitters, welders, platers, blacksmiths, tinsmiths and pattern-makers. More than 37,000 water meters and 120 pumps were overhauled during the year. Details of other works carried out in the workshops, meter-repair shops and by this division generally are given in Appendix CC under item (7).
Operation and Maintenance
10.56. As a result of taking water from more efficient sources, five small pumping stations became redundant and were dismantled.
