Water Supply.

from five deep wells in the chalk—three at Barnet, one at
Potters Bar, and one at Bast 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.
