The above results are very satisfactory compared with the previous
year's results, and they are especially graitfying because much time has been
spent with the several airline operating companies who are responsible for
providing a satisfactory drinking water supply, or giving advice and technical
assistance in the problems involved in connection with this subject.
Petroleum Installations
The 4 major aviation fuel storage installations arc completed and
licensed, but it is always likely that further extensions will take place to
cope with the storage necessary for the ever increasing number of aircraft
using the airport.
At Perry Oaks, licences are in force for two installations and these
licences authorise the storage of 2,433,900 gallons of fuel.
In the Central Terminal Area, two licences authorise the storage of
703,000 gallons of fuel.
In addition, the pipe lines from Walton now supply both Shell Mex
and B.P. and Esso Petroleum at Perry Oaks and also the depot of Shell
Mex and B. P. Lt. at Hatton Cross. The lines can pump 30,000 gallons
per hour.
