NURSING MANGAHAO
ECONOMISING POWER NO HOUSE WATER-HEATERS Press Association. WANGANUI, Thursday. Power from Mangahao is still being nursed with the greatest care, and the Wanganui - Rangitikei Electric-Power Board has decided to disconnect all domestic water-heaters, some 700, in its area. Farmers, however, may rest easy, as electric hot water supplies in milking sheds are to be left intact. Water heaters are the greatest consumers of electric current, and it may not be generally realised that this service alone consumes more electricity than the total output of the Wanganui steam plant last year, when 5,000 tons of coal were consumed. The engineers state that it is the general use of water heaters that has upset all calculations concerning the Mangahao output.
