catchwaters and pumping stations and led via a network of tunnels into a reservoir which will have a capacity of about 60,000 million gallons, i.e. larger than the final capacity of Plover Cove reservoir.
10.83. A contract has already been awarded for site investigation work for the tunnels and dams and contract documents are being prepared for the construction of these structures and their associated access roads.
10.84. The project which will be the largest waterworks scheme ever undertaken in Hong Kong should be completed in 1976 at an estimated cost of over $750 million.
