SECTION C.
SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA.
(i) Water Supply.—The district is served by the Metropolitan Water
Board and the South Essex Waterworks Co., both maintaining a constant
supply. The subject of the water supply of the Borough was dealt with at
length in my report for 1945.
The part of Ilford within the area of the Metropolitan Water Board is
supplied with water derived from the River Lea, which after passing through
storage reservoirs is filtered and chlorinated at Lea Bridge and Ferry Lane,
and pumped from those works. An additional amount of water is supplied
from Wanstead Well.
Samples of the water in all stages of purification are analysed daily at
the laboratories of the Board.
Lieutenant-Colonel E. F. W. Mackenzie, Director of Water Examination
of the Board has kindly supplied me with the information that 1,411 samples
of filtered water were submitted to chemical and bacteriological examination
and found to be pure and wholesome. All new and repaired mains are
ohlorinated before being restored to use and samples of water from them are
tested bacteriologically. The water is not plumbo-solvent.
The length of mains laid by the Metropolitan Water Board in Ilford
during 1946 was 3 yards of 3-inch and 2,477 yards of 4-inch.
The water to the other part of the area is supplied by The South Essex
Waterworks Co. The supply is obtained from the River Stour and from
deep wells at Mill Road, Grove Road and Roding Lane.
