WATER
The water supply is satisfactory in quality and quantity. During the year two
chemical and two bacteriological samples were taken from the Company's mains in this
Borough; all were satisfactory.
The water is not liable to have plumbo-solvent properties and no action was called
for in respect of any form of contamination. Approximately .022 per cent of the inhabited
houses and .014 per cent of the population of the Borough take their water from
standpipes.
