Mr. NEWHOUSE,

Water Carriage Extension Committee.

Would you kindly supply for the information of the above Committee:---

(1) A plan showing the present sewer outfalls.

(2.) A report as to what portion of the drainage from and including the Peak down to the 400 feet contour at present discharges on the South side of the island, and what additional drainage could be so discharged if desired.

Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,

1. I attach herewith 1,400' =1" key plans of the City of Victoria and Kowloon Peninsula in duplicate showing the present sewer outfalls.

(a.) The whole of Mount Kellett and that portion of the Peak South-West of a line drawn roughly through Mountain View, Cloudlands, and Stewart Terrace is drained by the Mount Kellett sewer, the outfall of which is at Kellett Bay. (b.) That portion of the Peak South-East of a line drawn roughly through Stewart Terrace, Cloudlands, Tanderagee and Victoria Hospital and which lies between Barker Road and Craigmin Road together with the Magazine and Wanchai Gap districts, is drained by sewers in Craigmin, Barker and Coombe Roads to a point South of Wanchai Gap where the sewage is treated. by septic tanks and the effluent discharged down the stream-course into the catchment area of Aberdeen Reservoir. A sum of $13,000 is included in this year's estimates P.W.E. 19 (d) for connecting this sewer with the city system at Wanchai, but if Mount Cameron is to be developed, I would suggest that, instead of carrying out the work already provided for, an alternative route be adopted from Wanchai Gap to a disposal point in the Valley east of Bennetts Hill on such a line as will deal with the drainage of all houses that might be built on the southern and western slopes of Mount Cameron. 1 attach 8′′-1 mile contour plan in duplicate, which shows this proposal.
