WATER SUPPLY—A SUGGESTION.

(To the Editor.^

Sir, —I think there is one important point overlooked by the engineers on account of the low pressure. In Englana the water is supplied by the waterworks to the houses once a day; each house finds its own cisterns (tanks), with a ball-cock, and trie turncock turns on the water 'or t.ach street. Then, in an hour s time, he turns if off, and that gives ample ti.^ to f:JI all their tanks. ■11 l° U ad °I)t tnat Plan in Hawera you will have a good pressure, as you will be m command of the supply," instead or householders; and you will not want an expensive tower or extra main for some years.
