Water.
The Borough is freely supplied with water by the Metropolitan
Water Board. As this supply is under continuous control no
examinations were made of this water.
In addition there are 3 wells in use in the Borough. Samples

There are also certain other wells but these are not normally

belong to the Council all of which maintain regular chlorination of
the water. Bacteriological examination has shown an almost complete
