Hastings borough yvaterWORKS EXTENSION LOAN PROPOSAL. On the 30th November, Loan Proposals lor the extension oi the Water Supply of the Borough, involving a suui of £lO,lOO, will be placed before the Ratepayers. The scheme has been submitted to and approved by the Local Government Loans Board, and 1 desire to urge upon the people the great necessity, in the interests of the health of the community, and the general welfare of Hastings, that the Proposals should be favourably received. The present Water Supply, which has not been added to, was inaugurated in 1911 when the population of tlie Borough was 6286 people, and since then the population has just about doubled, and therefore, the consumption of water has so'increased that the present supply is totally inadequate for the needs of the Town. Dtjring the last two years, tho position has been most precarious, and on several occasions there was not more than half an hour’s supply of watei' left in the Reservoir, although the pumping was continuous during the twenty-four hours of the day, and if there had occurred a break in the continuity of the supply from the water pumps, or if a serious conflagration had broken out in Hastings; then the condition would have been a most serious one, and Hastings would have been without water until such time as the position had been remedied. The present Reservoir has a capacity of 500,000 gallons, which is only sufficient to supply the present requirements of the people for five (5> hours, but the proposed capacity of the extra Reservoir will be ample to meet the consumption for twenty-four (24) hours, and which, the Engineer maintains, will be sufficient for the Borough of Hastings during the next fifteen years. Further, the present Water Pumps are not only obsolete but have so deteriorated that they are unable to efficiently do the work exxpected of them and the Proposals provide for the installation of a new Pumping Plant and also the sinking of sufficient wells to provide an adequate water supply. The position is so acute in Hastings, and the supply of water so restricted that it will be very difficult, under the present conditions, to supply the Hastings Hospital with the water it will require. The present total consumption of water in the Town averages about 600,000 gallons per day, so I am sure the people will readily observe the necessity for an additional supply, especially in view of the fact that the present Reservoir has a capacity of only half a million gallons. Tho Borough lias had an agreement for several years with the Havelock North Town Board whereby the Town Board has been pumping water for the Borough from its Pumping Station in Norton Road, and even with this additional supply tho quantity has not been sufficient for Hastings. In the near future this agreement will terminate, and cannot be renewed, and consequently this is another reason why the Borough supply should be added to as set out in the Loan Proposals. In view of the present financial stringency, the Council has done all in its power to obviate the necessity for this Loan, but the position to-day is sueh that it is absolutely imperative for the health of the community that the present supply of water should be considerably augmented. The consumption of water per month in 1912 was 7,520,000 gallons, and to-day this has increased to 18,724.000 gallons. The Annual Charges on the Loan will require a Hate of 6/50ths of a penny in the £ on the Unimproved Value, or 'an annual sum of £750, which would meat increase in the i Bales cl I - on every 1100 worth of 1 I l ' ' Tl v.
