I am glad to say that no case of disease has been definitely
traced to drinking water during the year.
I am doing all I can to get the supply of drinking water to
every house from the rising main and not through a cistern.
Many domestic supplies have been altered during the year from a
cistern, to a direct, constant supply.
I again urge that the Council should not allow houses to be
erected without this provision.
In 1900 there were 198 houses in the Town not connected
with the main water supply— at the present time there are only
. 6 remaining unconnected.
