SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA
WATER SUPPLY
The Borough is supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water
Board. The whole of the population is supplied from the public
water mains direct to each house and the supply has been satisfactory.
Notifications of waste of water have been notified to the Metropolitan
Water Board on 76 occasions and, in addition to saving a
measure of the water supply, have been the means of preventing
nuisance from dampness in many cases.
In addition to the public supply, there are three deep wells in
the district, two at factory premises, and one at the Public Baths.
