Wainuiomata Water Works Tunnel videos

Two videos taken inside the Orongorongo Tunnel. Includes both directions.

Constructed during the 1920s, this tunnel remains in active operation today. The purpose is to feed the headwaters of the Orongorongo River into the Wainuiomata (Mortons) dam to increase the supply of water to Wellington.
