The City’s Water Supply
Sir, —I notice in “The Dominion” that the authorities are perturbed concerning the city’s water supply. A plentiful supply of water for a city is a matter of vital importance, and the shortage of it causes considerable annoyance and inconvenience to citizens and industries, while fire risk is increased. Owing to Wellington’s rapid growth and expansion—and there is no doubt it will expand still further—all available sources of water supply may not have been investigated. There are valleys in close proximity to the city which at small cost m comparison to the benefit gained could be dammed and connected, thus augmenting the present supply very considerably. The drought we are experiencing is proof that the present water supply is inadequate. Such being the case what will be the position in a few years when the population has probably doubled? —I am, etc., WELLINGTONIAN. Waikanae, January 17.
