Description

A piece of 4 inch cast iron pipe lying in the Kahuterawa Stream, part of the Fitzherbert West Water Race Scheme which was built in 1917 to supply farms with water in the Fitzherbert West area. Pipes were installed in the stream to transport water down to a settlement box, which removed the silt and debris, and onto the farms.
