in the area are now served by a piped water supply and
the supply during the year has been satisfactory both in
quantity and quality.
Reports are received monthly from the Colne Valley
Water Company as to the chemical and bacteriological examination
of samples of water and these have proved satisfactory.

All new and repaired mains are chlorinated before being
restored to use and samples of water from them are tested
bacteriologically to ensure the purity of the water.
