The pump, which will increase the supply in the Cutts and Russley roads areas, is the first of its type to be used in Christchurch. There are only two others in New Zealand. The station can pump 1600 gallons of water a minute. In the photograph are the assistant engineer for the Waimairi County, Mr A. C. T. Thomsen (left), and the chairman of the county council, Mr J. I.
