✨ Crown-Funded Irrigation Scheme Sale

16 SEPTEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 2875

Teviot

1. Description

The Teviot scheme draws water from Lake Onslow, a resource now shared with the Otago Central Electric Power Company. Water is distributed to the north and south of the Teviot River through pipes, and many syphon and open races which were constructed by the Crown for irrigation. The Power Company subsequently constructed a larger dam, river weir, penstocks and pressure pipes to use the same water source for power generation. Many of the new facilities serve both irrigation and power generation during the irrigation season but the bulk of the generation is mainly outside the irrigation season. The Power Company supplies water for irrigation free of charge at the original points of intake into the distributions system.

The area served by the scheme is 1,464 hectares. In recent years, horticultural development has increased significantly with a corresponding demand for on-farm storage and frost-fighting facilities. The remainder of the scheme area is in pasture with wild flooding, contour and spraying being the most prevalent methods of irrigation application.

The scheme was funded in terms of the 1910 amendment to the Public Works Act 1908 with a 100% grant for off-farm works.
