Inverted siphon no. 2, Pokfulam Conduit [c.1877- ]

Submitted by David on Wed, 05/19/2021 - 14:18

Part of the original Pokfulam Conduit, the inverted siphon carried the water across the valley through a pair of cast iron pipes.

The conduit was later extended to cross the stream further inland via a new bridge and the inverted siphon was no longer needed. A pillar that supported the inverted siphon's pipes has survived and can still be seen.
