WATER SUPPLY
The District of Enfield is supplied with water by the Metropolitan
Water Board, except for part of the Hadley Wood and
Cockfosters area, which is supplied by the Barnet District Water
Company.
Both of these Authorities take regular and frequent samples
for analysis. Copies of these reports are sent to the Health Department,
and have shown satisfactory results.
