There were two unsatisfactory conditions, one of which already
has been remedied and the other will be remedied in the summer
of 1934.
There had been carelessness in the cleaning of the
cisterns. This matter had been discussed by the Education
Committee before our survey was made and arrangements had been
made to clean them out before the report was brought to their
notice. All the cisterns have now been cleaned. A further step
will be taken during the summer holidays and all the taps from
which drinking water is taken will be on the main. The work has
been included in the years estimate and it will be carried out in the
summer holidays.
