HYDRO-ELECTRICITY
TAUMARUNUI WORKS OPENED
"COMING CITY WITH A GREAT
FUTURE."
——
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
TAUMARUNUI, 21st March.
The hydro-ele[c]trical works erected by the borough at a cost of £521,000 [ca. $64M today] were officially declared open by the Prime Minister this afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of townspeople at #Piriaka, about five miles from #Taumarunui.
The works are said to be the second of the kind erected in the Dominion. The power generated will… supply the town and the district for many miles around. The power is obtained from the Wanganui River…
Mr. Massey… said that Taumarunui had made wonderful progress and was no doubt a coming city with a great future before it. He referred to the general development of hydro-electricity throughout the Dominion… later [in the power-house] the Prime Minister switched on the electric current amid loud applause.…
To-night the Prime Minister will be entertained to a dinner… and will later address citizens in Main street, which has been festooned with coloured lights for the occasion.

In addition to those #water #conservation programs, the #InflationReductionAct set aside hundreds of millions of dollars for projects aimed at keeping #ColoradoRiver tributaries #clean & #healthy. Conservation groups, small nonprofits, Native American tribes, & local governments were assigned federal money for a bevy of projects that included #Wildfire prevention & #HabitatRestoration.

That is no small feat, as leaders of the states that use #ColoradoRiver #water are caught in a #legal standoff about how to share it going forward.…
"Having this appropriated funding suddenly taken away undoes years & years of very careful collaboration among the #states in the #ColoradoRiverBasin," Castle said, "& threatens the #sustainability of the entire system."
