(2) 22 Applications were received for water certificates and 22 certificates were
issued in respect of 434 separate dwellings.
There are 28 bore-holes or wells known to exist in the Borough, 19 of which
are abandoned and effectively sealed. Of the remaining 9, 3 were out of commission
during the year. Samples of the water were taken from the 6 at present in use,
and from the results obtained, no exception could be taken to the use of the water
for domestic or washing purposes. None of the water is used for dietetic purposes.
It is therefore considered that the position relative to underground water supplies
in the Borough is satisfactory. Details of the samples taken are given as follows:—

Regent's Canal.
Two samples of the Regent's Canal water were taken, one where the canal
enters the Borough, and the other before its entry into Shoreditch.
The Public Analyst reported that no deleterious or poisonous matter was
detected in either sample, and in his opinion the water was dealing satisfactorily
with such effluents as may be discharged into it.
