Time to check plans
Mr Alan Beard (left) and Mr Don Webster, employees of the Christchurch Drainage Board, check plans outside the board’s 105-year-old Tuam Street building which is due to be demolished.
The board is planning a new $4.5 million depot at the Christchurch treatment works’ Bromley site.
The board’s chief administration officer, Mr Norman Kelly, said it was hoped the new depot would be completed by March, 1989, and staff would move from the Tuam Street building at that time. The new workshop and
stores depot would be two or three times the size of the Tuam Street building, which was built in 1882 as the board’s No. 1 pumping station. It later became a workshop when a new pumping station was built in 1957.
.Mr Beard is the board’s mechanical and electrical supervisor. Mr Webster is the outside superintendent.
Mr Webster has worked at the Tuam Street site for more than 35 years.
