WATER SUPPLY.
The District is supplied with water by the Sutton and District
Water Company, whose mains supply that part of the District on the
north-west side of Brighton Road and Chipstead Valley Road, and by
the East Surrey Water Company, who supply the remainder of the area,
with the exception of a small private supply* to premises on the Old
Coulsdon Estate, Coulsdon.
The mains of each Company were extended during the year to meet
the housing developments in various parts of the district.
The reports upon the bacteriological examinations of the East
Surrey Water Company's, and Sutton and District Water Company's
supplies showed that these softened waters had maintained their usual
good quality for drinking and domestic purposes.
No repetition of the drought of 1934 was experienced, and the
excessive rainfall compensated in some measure for the dry season of
the previous year.
Frequent examinations were made of the private supply of the
Old Coulsdon Estates, Ltd. From January to May all reports were
satisfactory, when one sample was reported upon adversely. From
