16610 Goldfields Water Supply Scheme
The pumping station is a brick building of plain industrial design appropriate to its use. It has an iron roof and a metal chimney. Work on construction of the pipeline under the direction of the Engineer-In-Chief, C Y O'Connor began in 1898 but this, the last of the steam pumping stations, was built at the end of 1901. It continued in use until 1970 when superseded by diesel powered plant. It is currently being restored by the trust in co-operation with the Public Works Department.
