LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
No. 242. The Honourable Mr. C. G. ALABASTER, O.B.E., gave notice, on the 27th May, 1919, of the following question :-
Will the Government take over the private pumping station, which now supplies Broadwood Road with water, or make other provision for the water supply of this district, so that the residents may get their water on the same terms as prevail in other parts of the Colony?
The reply thereto is as follows:-
The Government is not prepared to take over the private pumping station, the gravitation tanks of which are situated in a private house.
It is the intention to build filter beds in the neighbourhood of the eastern end of Bowen Road, and a sum of $40,000 is provided in the present year's estimates for commencing the work. Broadwood Ridge will be supplied from these beds, when they are completed.
The purchasers of lots in this neighbourhood accepted the following condi- tion of sale :-
"The Government is unable to ensure a supply of water to the lot, but "will, at the expense of the purchaser, lay a service to the nearest "point at which a supply by gravitation can be obtained from the "existing water works system."
