SECTION D
WATER SUPPLY
Mains water was supplied by Rickmansworth and Uxbridge Valley Water Company
No adverse complaints about the area's water supply were received during the
year and a typical bacteriological and chemical examination result is shown for your
information. The results refer to water pumped from the West Drayton Pumping
Station.
Hardness in the water is an inconvenience one has come to accept, but it is nevertheless
a financial burden on the Council who are continually defurring Council house
plumbing systems due to its effects.
There are only 5 houses in the Urban District where the water supply is derived
from wells.
