The Time Scale

Thus,

The horizon for the different planning purposes varies. From conception to completion, a large reservoir may need 8-10 years, a desalter 7-8 years, a treatment plant 5-6 years, service reservoirs and pumping stations 3-4 years and trunk mains 1-2 years. The arrangements for draw-off from reservoirs to maintain a proper distribution of resources must be planned months ahead, but sudden storms may require alterations to be made overnight.

3.50

All of this planning requires experienced professional staff trained in many inter-related disciplines, and maintaining such an organisation might be said to be the most important planning function of the management of the Waterworks.

NEW TERRITORIES DEVELOPMENT

The basis of the development programme for the expansion of New Towns and rural service centres is the equating of available resources with a desired rate of production of public and private housing and infrastructure within a balanced development concept. The programmes are subdivided into groups of projects arranged in order of priority so as to provide a series of development "packages" which are to a large extent self-contained. Provision is made for the cost, timing and implementation of land resumption and clearance, site formation, provision of engineering services, requirements of the Public Housing Programme, community facilities and land sales within each package.

3.52

The programmes, which were first produced in 1974, are reviewed annually to take account of actual progress of works, changes in policies and standards and any financial or other restraints.
