To provide arrangements for receiving additional water supplies from China, the necessary pumping facilities were installed during the 42-day shutdown period from mid-August to the end of September 1976. Pipe-work modifications were carried out inside and outside Muk Wu Pumping Station and two 91,000 cubic metres per day pumpsets borrowed from River Indus Pumping Station were installed in a temporary pumphouse and connected to the pumping system. The plant was successfully completed and set to work on time when water supply from China resumed in October 1976. Extensive large diameter pipe work was also carried out in the intermediate floor at River Indus Pumping Station in order to provide for additional repumping facilities in the whole system.
11.69 At Sha Tin Treatment Works, the track foundations of two 181,000 cubic metres per day clarifiers were relevelled and new track plates installed. This modification significantly improved the operational reliability of the installation.
11.70 This Division now operates 64 major pumping stations which house 231 pumpsets. The total installed power of major pumping plant throughout the territory, both diesel and electric, increased by 0.3% to 81,016 kilowatts.
New Works
11.71 One additional diesel driven pumpset of 11,365 cubic metres per day capacity was installed and handed over for operation and maintenance at Sau Mau Ping Salt Water Pumping Station to meet the increased demand for flushing water in the area.
11.72 Delays were experienced on most projects due to staff shortage. Procurements for new plant continued for two new pumping stations and four existing pumping stations and design work on nine new pumping stations was in progress. During the year work was carried out on a total of 29 projects.

The Division is responsible for the planning, design, procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance of electrical and instrumentation equipment required for the pumping, filtration and storage of fresh and salt water, excluding that associated with the desalting plant, liaison with consultants on design, installation and take-over for maintenance of plant provided for the Plover Cove and High Island Water Supply Schemes.
11.74
Three small workshops are located at Bullock Lane Depot, Argyle Street Depot and Sha Tin Treatment works to support site staff in the repair and testing of electrical and instrumentation equipment, with a small room at Bullock Lane adapted for the repair of high voltage motor windings under controlled atmospheric conditions.
