Water.
The Metropolitan Water Board is the supplying
authority.
The supply to the Crayford district is a mixture of water
from Crayford, Dartford, Darenth, Wansunt and Wilmington
wells. All the water is chlorinated on the works, but, any
excess remaining after a period of contact is removed completely
before the water is passed into supply.
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.
