ARAPUNI
DAM COMPLETED. FILLING UP, THE LAKE. ? ! The huge dam at Arapuni was finish-A. ed yesterday, the last part of the car- ' riage-way and protecting parapets being added in the afternoon. Is is understood the permanent filling of the Arapuni Lake will start forthwith. This, is a lengthy process, but about 7000 cusecs must be -passed through the gates to keep the Horahora plant supplied. When the lake level has risen sufficiently to allow this amount of water to pass along the headrace and thence over the spillway back to the riverbed, the gates may be permanently closed.
