The completion of the Colony's largest reservoir, as part of the Shek Pik Water Scheme, was announced in November, 1963. Here, up to 5,400 million gallons of water can be conserved behind a 178 feet high dam wall blocking the Shek Pik Valley on Lantau Island. Treated water from Lantau is carried by a submarine pipeline to a supply reservoir on Hong Kong Island.
