Utility Co-ordination
9.09 To minimise obstruction to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, close liaison was maintained with the utility companies, the Police and other related Government Departments on the co-ordination of trench works. Monthly meetings continued to be held with their representatives to plan and phase such works. With the ever increasing demand for utility services, there was a corresponding rise in the number of road openings.
Resettlement and Low Cost Housing Estates
9.10 New roads and drainage works were constructed in conjunction with the development of a number of resettlement and low cost housing projects. Works were carried out in estates such as Ko Chiu Road, Ho Man Tin, Lam Tin, Pak Tin, Sau Mau Ping, Yau Tong, Kwai Shing, Kwai Hing, Kwai Fong and Lei Muk Shu.
Drainage and Sewerage Works
9.11 Due to the heavy road construction programme, associated drainage works have also been considerable, especially in Wan Chai Reclamation and the new Waterfront Road on Hong Kong Island. In Kowloon, a large intercepting sewer along the new Lai Chi Kok Beach Road was being laid to cater for the anticipated discharge both from the New Lai Chi Kok Hospital and stages V, VI and VII of the Mei Foo Sun Tsuen Development.
9.12 About 14 miles of defective drains were replaced. Choked drains cleared in the year numbered 19,000. Clearance of silt from stormwater drains continued to be carried out.
