The city engineer has laid a scheme before the Wellington Council for improving the water supply at a cost estimated at £150,000 to £200,000. Owing to the enlargement of the city boundaries, and the taking in of populations at considerable heights .on hills, he proposes the construction of new reservoirs at Wainuiomata and Karoti, to hold 150,000,000 gallons, which with the present storage, will provide a population of 75,000, with 60 gallons per head per day, for 144 days. For districts pumping stations are to provided. A number of new mains of various sizes are proposed, running out as far as Island Bay.
