DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE
The District is drained by separate soil and surface water systems. The Surface water sewers
are discharged into the various natural streams and watercourses, whilst the soil sewers discharge
into the main sewers of the West Middlesex Sewerage System.
WATER SUPPLY
The water supply for the Ruislip-Northwood area is provided by the Colne Valley Water
Company. All dwellings in the area are served by a piped supply and the supply during the year
has been satisfactory both in quantity and quality.
Reports are received monthly from the Colne Valley Water Co. as to the chemical and bacteriological
examination of samples of water and these have proved satisfactory.
The average hardness of samples of water (Parts/Million) taken during the year is:—
Total hardness 257
Permanent hardness 60
Temporary hardness 197
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.
