In 1839 the New Zealand Company arrived in Pito-one (Petone) to purchase land for settlers who were greeted by the local Te Atiawa people. Since then the pure artesian water situated beneath the Hutt Valley has provided a supply of water to the inhabitants of the region.
This sculpture designed by Louise Purvise represents a water oasis and provides access to the artesian water supply, a resource treasured by residents throughout the region.
