Weir and Water Supply System

Originally the water was pumped some 3000 ft or around 900  metres to the reservoir at the top of the town with no running  costs.  The reservoir is about 270 feet or about 80 metres above  the river. The scheme covered an area from just south of the river  along to the old pier. It also included taps along the foreshore,  the recreation ground, (village green) and the public hall.
