Petone’s Water Problem Solved. —By driving four artesian wells Petone has secured a splendid flow of water (2400 gallons per minute) at a very small cost. The depth of the wells is approximately 100 feet, and each bore gives an 861b. pressure of water. The picture at the left gives an idea of the outflow from one of the wells. Right: A close-up of the outflow, which gives a good idea of the pressure of water obtained. -Photographs by J. V. Garvitch.
