One of your Medical Officers visited Kingston-on-Thames
on Saturday, 29th of April, when he inspected the Chelsea
Water Works, and found four engines, each of 150 horse power
in action, so that the Company were exerting all their power.
They were, however, extending their works, and have commenced
a new engine-house, where they intend to erect two
new engines, each of 150 horse power, leaving room for two
more of the same power. This extension of the works is
required in consequence of the great increase of the District
to which the water is supplied.
