Table VIII. shows the results of the analyses of the water
supplied to the Parish by the two companies during each of
the twelve months.
The average quality of the water supplied by the Grand
Junction Company was better, than, but that supplied by
the Chelsea Company not so good as, during the 12 months
ending March, 1891. The average quality of the Grand
Junction Company's water was, as will be seen from the
table, rather better than that of the Chelsea Company's
water, a reversal of the position reported during the
previous two years.
All the samples, when seen through a depth of 2ft., were
clear and had a slight greenish tint, except the samples
collected on October 31st, 1891, which had a "strong
marked greenish yellow colour," and one of which, the
Grand Junction Company's sample, was reported as "very
slightly cloudy." I described these samples in my monthly
report as " the worst samples I have yet reported on, each
containing about twice the average amount of organic
pollution."
For the information of the Parishioners, I may mention
that a hospital carriage for removing persons suffering from
infectious diseases (including Diphtheria) is kept at the
Workhouse in Wallis's Yard, Buckingham Palace Road, and
that the Ambulance belonging to the Metropolitan
Asylums Board is kept at Seagrave Road, Fulham ; but
those who are in a position to bear the expenses of their
support should apply at the London Fever Hospital
