In preparation for the increased volume of work on the maintenance of water meters, a training workshop for female meter repairers was set up on the site of the old Jordan Valley Salt Water Pumping Station which had become inoperative as a result of reclamation two years ago. Five living quarters were converted into the training workshop and extensive alterations were carried out to provide facilities for the trainees. Work also commenced on the conversion of the pumping station building itself into a meter repair shop.
