Wellington, August 29. The City Engineer’s reports to the Council last night disclosed that the dam of the Wainuiomata water supply reservoir is in a condition calling for attention. The concrete is of exceedingly poor quality, and in one place where the earth embankment was temporarily removed the water finds its way freely through the concrete wall, ranging in thickness from eleven to fourteen inches.
