  • SDC Paper No. 5/2021 Annex 1
    Annex 1 Hong Kong 12 February 2021 Mr. Lo Kin Hei Chairman Southern District Council Re: The Pok Fu Lam Conduit – Heritage status and improvement works Dear Chairman, We hope to raise an agenda item regarding the ‘Pok Fu Lam Conduit’ at the 8th SDC (2020- 2023) meeting scheduled at 2:30pm on 11 March 2021. Background The Pok Fu Lam Conduit was built between the Pokfulam Reservoir and the Albany Tanks during 1876 and 1877. It improved the supply of water to the City of Victoria. In 2004, based on Appraisal 429, Grade 2 Historic status was awarded to the No. 9 aqueduct of the Pok Fu Lam Conduit. Aspects of the conduit between the filter beds at west point (where the staff quarters and manager’s bungalow of the filter beds are now used as the Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre) and the Albany tanks above Garden Road are hard to find. Part of Tank 2 is present at the corner of Caine, Bonham, Seymour and Hospital Road. The conduit was terminated at the filter beds in its early years and with construction of Conduit Road the alignment of that section disappeared from maps early last century. Between the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir and the former filter beds much of the conduit is present, and parts are still used for water supply. Of the 32 aqueducts bridging over ravines and gullies our survey found 16 to be present (8 in the Southern District, 8 in the Central and Western District): 1. Aqueducts No. 1 – 4 have been lost during construction of HKU properties (High West and Alberose).
