The question of well-water supplies, both in connection with
dwelling-houses and industrial premises, throughout the Borough
has received the careful attention of the Department during the year,
and every care has been exercised to see that such supplies are not
used for drinking purposes where mains water supply is available,
and during the year twelve samples of well water were examined
bacteriologically.
In addition, twelve samples of drinking water other than
from wells were bacteriologically examined, and found to be satisfactory.
