|The station yard supply is from  two shallow wells which are both inadequate in summer and are subject to  unacceptable levels of contamination. A chlorination plant was installed in  1973 to reduce the bacteriological contamination but the quantity of water is  a continuing problem. To conserve Lumsden water supply during the summer, the  Kingston Flyer locomotive makes unscheduled stops for water at a trackside  vat near Athol but despite this, there is inadequate water for normal use at  Lumsden.
