WATER
The water supply continues to be satisfactory both in quality
and quantity. During the year 14 bacteriological samples were taken from
the Company's mains in the Borough; all were satisfactory.
The water does not have any plumbo-solvent properties and no
action was called for in respect of any form of contamination. There is now
a piped supply inside all houses.
