(c) (i) The Board has no record of the number of structurally separate dwellings
supplied in your area, but the population supplied direct according to
the Registrar-General's estimates at 30th June, 1971, was 259,982.
(ii) No house were permanently supplied by standpipe.
(d) No artificial fluoride was added, and where the fluoride content is indicated
in the analyses it represents the naturally occurring fluoride in the water.
2 (a) The supply was derived from the following works and pumping stations:—
River Thames-derived, also small quantities of well water from Honor Oak
and Merton Pumping stations.
No new sources of supply were instituted and there were no changes to the
general scheme of supply in your area.
The number of samples collected and the bacteriological and chemical
analyses of the supply from the above sources after treatment are shown on
the attached sheets.
(b) On account of their hardness content and alkaline reaction the Board's
river and well water supplies are not considered to be plumbo-solvent. [t
should, however, be appreciated that all types of water pick up varying
amounts of metal from the material of water piping particularly when it is
newly installed; this applies to copper, zinc, iron and also to lead.
