Porfoolum and Tytam reservoirs, it was quite empty, owing to the drought.

I therefore made an examination of the sites of the several reservoirs, proposed by Mr. Cooper. It appeared to me that, on the whole, the best plan would be to construct a large reservoir in the Tytam valley, below the existing Reservoir, in order to collect, not only any overflow from the said Tytam Reservoir, but also the waters of several streams, which join the main stream, below the said reservoir. The water of the proposed low-level Reservoir was to be pumped up to the level of the tunnel, which carries the water of the Tytam Reservoir, to the Town.

10.

A Report, describing this scheme, in general terms, was submitted, locally. Surveys were commenced. A Preliminary Specification of the Pumping-Engines was prepared, and it was sent home through the usual channel. Various tenders for Pumping Engines have been considered on the spot; one has been selected, and an order to proceed with construction has been received by telegram.

11.

It might reasonably be asked why the erection of the Pumping Machinery should precede the construction of the Reservoir.

The answer to this question is as follows. Gaugings taken in the bed of the Tytam below the existing reservoir, showed that, during the extreme drought of 1901-1902, a flow of about one million gallons a day prevailed. If machinery had been available, this water might have been pumped to the town, forming a very welcome addition to the general supply.

Therefore, it appeared that no time should be lost in procuring the pumping engines. This proposition has, apparently, been accepted by the Local Government, witness the Telegram, which I have cited.
