Its course will be continued in iron pipes along the main road in the Maori Hill Borough to a storage reservoir in Section 63, Block VIII., the property of Ann Procter, and Section 57, Block VIII., North Harbour and Blueskin, the property of the School Commissioners of Otago. The reservoir will be provided with the usual outlet and inlet pipes, valve-tower, overflow, and storm-water channel. The water of Burns Creek, Williams Creek, and other streams of smaller size will be taken into the pipe in its course. A surveyed but unformed road in Sections 30, 15, and 16, Block III., North Harbour and Blueskin District, will be entered upon. Close to the reservoir the main road now in use in part Section 63 will be deviated.

Outlet-pipe will be taken from the southern extremity of the reservoir across a surveyed but unformed road between Sections 49 and 57, Block VIII., North Harbour and Blueskin District, through part of Section 63, the property of Chas. D. Wilson, and thence along the public road close along and in one part at Section 39, crossing the Water of Leith to a point in Section 24, Block VIII., North Harbour and Blueskin, the property of Samuel Lawson, where a relieving-tank will be constructed in the Rocky Spur. In Section 40, Block VIII., North Harbour and Blueskin District, the property of James Davidson, the water of the west branch of the Leith will be lifted and conveyed in iron pipe along the public road to the relieving-tank. From this point pipes will be taken across the Leith on to the Main Road in the Leith Valley, and along it to the junction of the Wakari or Helensburn Road in or near Section 48, Block V., Dunedin and East Taieri, and will be continued along that road to a point in Section 84, Wakari Survey District, when it will be taken into the property of Edwin Tanner, and thence through the property of the Dunedin Corporation in Sections 86 and 88, Wakari, thence across a public road into and through Sections 89, 91, and 93, Wakari, Block XI., Dunedin and East Taieri, and Section 1, Block II., Upper Kaikorai District, the property of Robert Chapman (deceased), thence along public road in Maori Hill Borough to a service reservoir, to contain 1,800,000 gallons, to be constructed in Section 12, Block I., Upper Kaikorai. From this reservoir pipes will be taken down Driver’s Road across the Dunedin Town Belt to Heriot Row and Royal Terrace.

The water of Morrison’s Creek will be drawn upon at or near the boundary of Sections 66 and 67, Block V., Dunedin and East Taieri, the properties of Messrs. Robert Watt and William Henderson, and conveyed by iron pipe into main pipe coming from the relieving-tank at a point near the junction of Morrison’s Creek with the Main Leith in said Section 67.
