GENERAL

10.01 The Waterworks Office is responsible for all aspects of water supply and distribution carried out by Government. The work is divided among seven divisions and three units, each with specific responsibilities as shown on the operation and organization chart. Consulting engineers are appointed to carry out planning, feasibility studies, and construction of new works which are beyond the capacity of the office or which require specialist knowledge. A list of projects undertaken by consultants is given at Appendix BB. New works and a large proportion of the maintenance work are carried out by contract, but the operation of supply, the distribution of water, and maintenance of meters and machinery are done by Waterworks staff.

10.02 Despite the low rainfall during 1971-72, a continuous 24-hour supply was generally maintained throughout the year, except to those areas in the New Territories supplied from minor intakes.

10.03 Approval was received for works to proceed on the High Island Water Scheme and the installation of a 40 million gallons per day single-purpose desalting plant. Considerable effort was directed towards finalizing proposals and preparing the various main tender documents. A newly formed Division headed by a Chief Engineer will supervise the manufacturing stage of the desalter project, details of which are given in paras. 10.61 to 10.66.
