WATER EXAMINATION UNIT
Senior Waterworks Chemist:
D. L. MAKER, A.R.I.C., P.A.I.W.E.
10.67. The primary duty of the Unit is to ensure that water supplied to consumers is wholesome and conforms to international standards of purity. This is achieved through close control of purification processes at waterworks filtration plants and surveillance of water quality throughout all supply systems.
10.68. Samples taken regularly at key points such as intakes, storage reservoirs, treatment works, service reservoirs and consumers' taps were chemically and bacteriologically examined in 3 fully equipped laboratories located at Sha Tin Treatment Works and Argyle Street Depot on the Mainland, and at Eastern Filter Station on Hong Kong Island. Local facilities were also used at filter stations for testing water to maintain hour-to-hour control of quality at each stage of treatment. An additional laboratory at Tai Mei Tuk was concerned with hydrological and biological studies in Plover Cove Reservoir. The total number of samples examined in all laboratories increased by 16% over the previous year to 33,157 of which 7,266 were for bacteriological and 5,349 for biological testing.
