The Government computer was used in connection with reservoir system operations and for the determination of consumption statistics and other supply criteria. Development of computer programmes in connection with a study for the possible future location of desalting plants was put in hand. Analysis by computer of 1972 and 1973 trade consumption statistics was in hand but could not be finalised due to restrictions on overtime for staff checking coding of accounts. Work continued on the routine per-capita consumption study and the analysis of monthly consumption from water accounts, for use in estimating demand trends by consumer categories. Calculations for the conversion of service reservoir capacity tables to metric units were carried out. A review of the adequacy of a number of salt water installations was completed. The investigation for the development of resources to supplement the reservoir system in the long term was completed.
