water supply.
The major portion of the district is supplied with water from the
mains of the Barnet District Water Company, which was merged with other
companies to form the Lee Valley Water Company on 1st April, 1960.
The remainder of the district is supplied by the Colne Valley Water
Company.
All water supplied to the district is chlorinated and both companies
employ trained laboratory staff who regularly take samples of water for
bacteriological examination at the various stages of treatment, and from
the mains, thus checking the quality of the water as actually supplied to
the consumer.
The regularity of the sampling procedure soon found some minor defects
in a local reservoir. The necessary remedial measures were immediately
undertaken and the water was soon brought back to the high level of purity
which has always been maintained.
