John C. Thresh.
No case of disease arising from contaminated water has been
detected during the year.
We are still doing all we can to get the water for domestic
use from the main, instead of passing through storage cisterns
which so easily become foul.
No house should be erected without this provision.
Many houses during the year have been provided with clean
fresh water in this way.
The cottages at Creeksmouth have been connected with the
public water supply, so that very few houses in the district now
remain disconnected. I append the list here:—
