WATER
The water supply of the Borough has at all timese been satisfactory
both in quality and quantity during 1962.
The Metropolitan Water Board is responsible for the supply which is
piped direct to every dwellinghouse through the Borough and serves the
entire population.
"The sources of supply are mainly New River water from Hornsey and
Stoke Newington works together with some River Thames derived filtered water
from Ashford Common group of works via Fortis Green pumping station. Traces
of well water from Park well at Marsh Lane, Tottenham, may supply the southern
borders of your Borough.
"Samples are collected at least five days each week from the works and
the summary of the results from the sources are set on out the attached sheet.
The water is not plumbo-solvent.
"The number of structurally separate dwellings is not recorded but none
of the houses are permanently supplied by standpipe.
"No new sources of supply were instituted by the Board in your area
during 1962, nor were there any extensions of important trunk mains, nor any
change in the general scheme of supply to the Borough, but new service mains
were laid to the extent of 1,448 yards."
