SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE BOROUGH.
Water.—The Greenford and Northolt Wards are supplied
with water by the Rickmansworth and Uxbridge Valley Water
Company, while the rest of the Borough is supplied by the Metropolitan
Water Board.
During the year samples of water were taken from four wells
at premises where they were the only source of supply for drinking
water. In two instances the analyst reported the water to be
unfit for dietetic purposes and notices were served upon the owners
of the premises to provide a proper water supply. These notices
were complied with ultimately by connecting the houses with the
Metropolitan Water Board's mains.
Rivers and Streams.—There has been no occasion during the
year to complain of the pollution of any stream in the district.
