WATER SUPPLY.
The major portion of the district is supplied with water from the mains
of the Lee Valley Water Company, the remainder of the district being
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 supply to the whole district is of a high level of purity and is
considered adequate. There is only one cottage, which is unoccupied,
that is known not to be connected to mains water supply. It is being
repaired and will be connected to the mains before again being used for
habitation.
