WANGANUI WATER SUPPLY
Cattle In Catchment Area
PROPOSAL TO USE ONLY KAI IWI SPRINGS Dominion Special Service. WANGANUI, Mareb 24. A scheme involving an alteration in the supply of water for household consumption in Wanganui wit! lie placed before the city council at its meeting next Tuesday. The scheme, which arises from an investigation of possible contamination of the present supply from Okehu. provides for Wanganui to draw its entire supply from springs iu Kai Iwi. The council at its last monthly meeting decided that it was its policy to have stock removed from the catchment area, Okehu, at the earliest possible moment. This action arose from a report on the Okehu reserve by Dr. D. Cook, district medical officer of health, in which he pointed out the danger of contamination of the water from tlie presence of stock. Members of tlie council inspected the waterworks scheme, and subsequently Wanganui was visited by an officer of the Department of Health. The legal position arising out of the granting of a lease for the grazing of stock was gone into. The latest development is that Crs. C. N. Armstrong and D. W. Earle have given notice of motion to vary the council’s decision to have the stock removed.
