Water-Supply.
The District is supplied from the mains of the Barnet
Water Company. From evidence given before the Parliamentary
Bills Committee, it appears that the Company pump
from five deep wells in the chalk—three at Barnet, one at
Potters Bar, and one at East Barnet—and in addition can
obtain a certain quantity of water from the New River
Company.
The quantity of water supplied has been estimated at
about twenty gallons per head per day. No water-softening
process is in use.
By the first of January, 1908, a constant water supply
had been provided to 2,903 houses, that is, to about 46 per
cent of the houses in the District.
