- “Truth was, he couldn't stand the oh-so-perfect Metru. He had the feeling that if a little water sloshed onto the street, they'd call out half a squad of Vahki to handle it and declare a Metru-wide emergency.”

Ga-Metru (Water District or Water City in Matoran) was the one of the six Metru and also one of the most peaceful Metru in Metru Nui.
History
Nearly 80,000 years before the death of Mata Nui, when the Matoran went to war with each other, the different Metru formed alliances. Eventually, the Brotherhood of Makuta intervened and ended the fighting, and the hostility between the Metru dissolved.
It was the main center of education learning in the city, along with spiritual learning as well. This was where the schools and research labs that research the various properties of protodermis were found. Only Ga-Matoran were allowed to participate in these classes, with the exception of a few Ko-Matoran. It was here that Protodermis was purified, and sent to the other Metru for use. The Vahki in this Metru were Bordakh.
Ga-Metru was also the location of the Great Temple, the most spiritual location on the island and the second most important landmark on Metru Nui, after the Coliseum.
During the Great Cataclysm, Ga-Metru was destroyed along with the Vahki and the rest of the city. It reduced to rubble, allowing vital samples of Protodermis to leak away. It was soon covered in webs and made into the home of the Boggarak after the Visoraks' conquest of the city.
Ga-Metru, along with the other parts of Metru Nui, was repaired 1,001 years later by the Staff of Artakha. Once Spherus Magna was reformed, Metru Nui was again abandoned.
