While boring for fresh water to provide a supply for tne Rotokawa Native school on Te Ngae Road, about five miles from Rotorua, a well borer and water diviner, Mr A. G. Thompson. struck hot thermal water at a depth of approximately 58ft. The water had a temperature of 128 degrees, and is believed to have valuable curative properties, as it is in the neighbourhood of a thermal spring, of which the curative value has been known for a number of years.
