Water.
The water supply is satisfactory in quality and quantity. Since
November, 1938, eight local authorities in the South Essex Waterworks
Company's area of supply have carried out a co-ordinatcd system of
sampling. Each authority takes one sample a month for bacteriological
examination and one sample every six months for chemical examination
in accordance with a rota. The 12 bacteriological and two chemical
samples taken from the company's mains in this Borough were all
satisfactory.
The water is not liable to have plumbo-solvent properties and no
action was called for in respect of any form of contamination.
