Windmill boosts Convent water supply in remote district
The Convent and College in the eastern town area gains a windmill to pump water from a well near the Presbyterian Church. The Great X wind machine, built by Fortescue and Sons, will supply 1200 feet of pipe to a 2000 gallon storage tank, reducing weekly costs from about £5 to nearly zero. The project, supervised by C. Stacey, enables ample water for kitchens, laundries, gardens, and grounds improvements, despite prior financial strain and limited local water supply.
