(-18) - ŌrongorongoPlaceNameOrigins . . . by Jeremy Foster: A small tunnel that is alongside the Ōrongorongo River. It is part of the Ōrongorongo River water intake scheme. To a lesser extent it is also known as the No 2 Tunnel which is named after that it is the second tunnel in the Ōrongorongo River water intake scheme. The length of the unlined tunnel is 103 metres and was built in 1922. It is unknown as to where the spoil of the tunnel was dumped but it thought to be over the side beside the Ōrongorongo River. It is primarily used for conveying water in a pipe. There was a small railway track in the tunnel used for access that was there from 1922 to 2000. The length of the partly lined Ōrongorongo tunnel is 3.2 kilometres and was built between 1921 and 1926. To a lesser extent it is also known as Semples Tunnel and No 1 Tunnel. See Semples Tunnel for more information. Spoil from the Ōrongorongo side was presumed dumped beside the Ōrongorongo River. Spoil from the tunnel on the Wainuiomata side was dumped lower down on the south side of George Creek in a area called Wacky Pit. Wacky is derived from greywacke which is the type of rock that is predominant in the area. It is primarily used for conveying water in a pipe but also has telecommunication cables. There is a small railway track in the tunnel that is used for access purposes. (+432)
