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.
Water Sampling
The following samples were sent to the County Laboratory by
the Council's Public Health Inspectors.
Samples of water taken by the Department and forwarded to the
County Laboratory for examination have all been reported satisfactory
with the exception of one sample taken from a well supply.
One complaint of 'cloudy' water upon investigation was found not
to be associated with contamination but solely due to aeration
caused by supersaturation of the water with air owing to the
pressure in the mains.
