SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISTRICT.
Water Supply.
The whole of the water supply in the District is obtained from
the Metropolitan Water Board (New River District); the supplv
is a constant service, water being laid on to each house.
The whole of the houses on the Noel Park Estate have their
supply direct from the main service pipe, without any storage
cisterns.
By the Wood Green District Council Act, 1903, Section 42:
" Any cistern used for the supply of water for domestic purposes,
"so placed, constructed or kept as to render the water therein
" liable to contamination, causing or likely to cause risk to health,
"shall be deemed a nuisance within the meaning of the Public
" Health Act, 1875."
Water Courses.
There are two water courses in the District, namely, the Muswell
Stream and the Moselle Brook.
The former takes the surface water from the Muswell Hill
District of Hornsey and Wood Green, and pursues a meandering
course from Hornsey to the West side of the District, discharging
into Pymmes Brook, Southgate, on the North side of the District.
