Water Shortage At Terrace End
POSITION SAID TO BE INTOLERABLE. Further complaints having been made in regard to the inadequacy of the water supply on the higher levels at Terrace End, the Terrace End Development and Progressive Association decided last night to ask the City Council to do something to relieve the position. The chairman (Air. F. J. Oakley) said that residents on the higher levels were beiii" penalised, and the position was intolerable. In his own case, for the last fortnight there had been practically no water until late in the afternoon. He had never experienced such a shortage before, and other persons were having ii similar experience. The artesian supply was apparently giving no help to the people on the higher levels. It was mentioned incidentally by Air. Oakley that the council had found that there was not sufficient water in Alansou street for its new artesian bore, and that it was going up to Vogel street.
