Ohinemuri-Waihi Low Level Water Race The low-level water race was recorded as an archaeological site T13/817 by Dr Caroline Phillips as part of the 2000 survey of the Mine extension area (Phillips 2000). The course of the water race was surveyed in more detail and planned by Ray Hooker and Waihi Gold Mine Co. surveyors in 2003, ahead of a proposal to store waste rock in a location along part of the route (Hooker 2003). The recorded route of the water race is shown in Figure 66.
