THE RESERVOIR.
(To the Editor). Upon a recent visit to the local A reservoir I was surprised to find the ?l stale of disrepair that it has been ' a allowed to get into, which, if not at-fl tended to at once, may result in ous consequences as well as heavy.' expenditure. At the present moment, | at the site of the main dam the \ water has forced its way to either side of it and is pouring over at . a great rate. The retaining walls are’j standing a tremendous pressure, and~a it appears to be only a matter <>ifl time before the walls must give under the strain, when the supply of water lor Paeroa will be nonest until ; cosily repairs have been effected. A A few tons of cement is all that is re-fl qnired to strengthen the dam regulate the water flow at present, J but the reservoir requires attention —there is no doubt of "Forewarned is forearmed,” is hoped that our City Fathers WnSrJ immediately look into the matter and 4 save this town from a serious calam- J ity. fl CIVIS.
