Diamond Harbour Water Supply The Lyttelton Borough Council last evening decided to ask the Government for legislation to compel all section holders at Diamond Harbour to contribute towards a water supply scheme for the district. The council received a letter from Mr G. A. G. Connal, acting for the Diamond Harbour Burgesses’ Association, asking that a proportion of the cost of the scheme should be loaded on to the price of each new section sold. The town clerk (Mr J. Thompson) reported that 211 section holders had agreed to contribute towards the cost, but only 96 of these had so far actually paid their contributions. The council agreed that it would have no power to add the cost of the contribution to the prices of sections, and it was decided to make the necessary approach to the Government to compel all section holders to contribute.
