Colony's Supply.

The catchwaters discharging through Lead

Mine Pass present no particular difficulties apart from

their being situated at a very high level and therefore

somewhat inaccessible. They should be put in hand while

the Reservoir is under construction, but are not so

urgent.

A Second pipe line should not be required

until the reservoir is almost completed, so need not be

considered at the moment.

The filters will be an extension of the

existing plant and should be dealt with early.

The

existing plant has been designed to allow of extension

when necessary.
