WATER SUPPLY
Apart from a small area in the extreme south-west part of the district
which is supplied by the Rickmansworth and Uxbridge Valley Water
Company, the Borough is supplied by the Colne Valley Water Company.
Nearly all the water supplied by them is obtained from a series of wells
fed from gathering grounds in the Chilterns.
The supply has been satisfactory in quantity and quality and no
adverse reports were received.
Throughout the year samples were taken by the Colne Valley Water
Company and in every case the report received was satisfactory. In
addition, 26 samples were taken by the Department—all were satisfactory.
Three samples were also taken of water from the deep boring at
Messrs. Braziers, Kenton Lane, where the supply from this source is used
for cooling and for other purposes within the dairy. Again, the results in
each case were satisfactory.
