Bacteriological analyses are carried out at least five
times per week for all supplies both before and after
chlorination.
All new and repaired mains are chlorinated before being
restored to use and samples of water from them are
tested to see that the quality conforms with that normally
supplied before the main is passed for service.
None of the supplies is plumbo-solvent.
