The Wellington City Councillors paid an official visit to the Wainui-o-mata waterworks on Saturday and closely examined the race in which leaks were found. It is understood that fresh leaks were discovered and signs of careless workmanship. It was estimated that two million gallons of water has been lost daily for some time past by those leaks.
