Water for drinking and commercial purposes in the Borough is supplied by the Metropolitan
Water Board and has been satisfactory both in quantity and quality.
The supply is piped, and regular bacteriological and chemical examinations of the water
are made by the Metropolitan Water Board, :
The water is not known to have any plumbo-solvent action.
No action has been necessary in respect of contamination.
All dwelling houses have a piped supply, andstand pipes are normally used only in cases
of emergency, such as the repair of mains.
Pour complaints of impure water were received during the year.
WELL WATER
There are three wells in use in the Borough - one on factory premises and two at the public
baths in Pond Road, Kentish Town.
Twelve samples of water were taken during the year, six of which were submitted for
chemical and six for bacteriological examination. All proved satisfactory.
