Shanghai, June 15.
After being suspended for nine months since the beginning of hostilities in the Shanghai area, operations were resumed at the Chapel Waterworks on June 13, the "Mainichi" said yesterday.
A ceremony marking the reopening of the plant was held at 10 o'clock in the morning near the filter bed of the former Chapel Waterworks Company on Hasegawa Street (Cha Yin Road), with a group of officials present and a Shinto priest of the Shanghai Jinja oMeiating.
The waterworks can supply 100,000 cubic metres of water daily, the paper said. Reconstruction of the plant was completed by labourers and engineers of the Waterworks Bureau of Nagoya, Japan, under the supervision of the Hsing Chung Kungssu.
