Water Supply.
At the beginning of the year 1904, the Water Supply of
Battersea was derived from the Lambeth and the Southwark
and Vauxhall Water Companies, the latter supplying the whole
of the Borough except the southern part of the South-Western
sub-district. In June, 1904, the property of these Companies
was transferred to the Metropolitan Water Board, who are
now responsible for the Water Supply of Battersea, except the
houses on the Latchmere Estate, which are supplied with water
from the wells sunk by the Council in the vicinity.
During the year monthly samples from the rising mains
were taken in the areas formerly supplied by the two Water
Companies, and submitted to the Public Analyst for analysis.
The houses, from the mains of which the samples were taken
are given in the following table:—
