According to the reports of the Public Analyst, the water
supplied in the districts in Battersea, formerly served by these
Companies, was during the greater part of the year of "fair"
quality. Both the February samples, however, and the sample
of the Lambeth Company's supply in March were reported as
being of from "fair to tolerably fair" quality.
The Council's dwellings on the Latchmere Estate are
supplied with water from deep wells sunk near the Latchmere
Baths. The water from these wells has been several times
analysed and found to be of exceptionally good quality.
