WELLINGTON’S WATER SUPPLIES
No Shortage Next Summer Noting that certain criticism on the city’s water supply had been made in the Press while he had been away, the Mayor of Wellington, Mr. T. C. A. Hislop, made a brief statement as to the water situation at the special meeting of the City Council yesterday afternoon. He said that the artesian supplementary water supply scheme was now well under way and would be ready next .summer, when they would have no further shortage. That scheme would have been ready this summer had it not been for the protracted negotiations which the council had had to carry on with the local todies in the Hutt Valley. They had everything arranged, when, as councillors would remember, the Hutt local bodies took the matter to Parliament, so that it was a long time before such negotiations came to a conclusion. “I don’t blame the local bodies concerned,” said the Mayor. “They evidently were under the impression that they had a duty to protect the valley water supply in the interests of their people. However, the matter has now been satisfactorily arranged, and we will have the water in a few months’ time.”
