SOLOMON’S KNOB DAM

Visit of Inspection Tomorrow

The Mayor and City Councillors will drive to Wainui tomorrow to inspect the reservoir which is being built at Solomon’s Knob. It is expected that the work will be completed before the end of the year.

The contract price was about £47,000, but the work will take nearer £50,000 to complete, with some extra expense involved owing to certain excavation work found necessary due to the loose nature of the ground on the eastern abutment.

It is due to this additional expense that the visit has been arranged, as the City Engineer is keen for the councillors to see what he considers necessary to be done.
