Water Plan Starts At Nhill Hill

Work began on a new five thousand pound project to nearly double Nhill's water supply. A 10 inch bore near the town well will be sunk to about 100 feet, with testing to determine yield between 17 000 and 20 000 gallons per hour. If needed, depth may extend to 150 feet to coral rock. The bore, driven by an electric motor, aims to prevent shortages during breakdowns at Moll's well, supplementing the present 13 000 gallon per hour rate plus 4 000 from the town well.
