The importance of securing a proper relationship between the size of heating element and the size of the cylinder in electric water-heating installations was emphasised in the report of the electricity committee to the Christchurch City Council. “Unfortunately there is a strong tendency for the owner, the building contractor, and the wiring contractor, to put in an installation that will result in the minimum first cost, with the consequences that a fourth party—the tenant —finds the service unsatisfactory, and a fifth party—the electrical supply authority—receives the blame,” stated the report, which suggested that the only satisfactory remedy was to refuse to give supply unless water-heating installations were made to comply with the department's requirements.
