Sanitary Circumstances of the Area
Water Supply
Water is supplied to Bedfont and Feltham by the South
West Suburban Water Co. of Egham, and to Hanworth by
the Metropolitan Water Board.
A few houses are still supplied by wells; these houses
should be connected to the main.
The water has been analysed during the year on eight
occasions. The reports are satisfactory, and the supply
adequate.
Arrangements were made during the year by which the
results of analyses of water made in the area supplied by the
South West Suburban Water Co. were pooled .
Rivers and Streams
The River Crane passes through your District. It is contaminated
outside your boundary.
There is a nuisance from insects breeding along the
banks. The whole river requires canalizing both within and
without your District.
This has partially been done by the Middlesex County
Council in the Hanworth Ward.
Drainage
Almost the whole of the District, with the exception of
Hatton, is on the main sewer. Details are given in the report
of the Chief Sanitary Inspector.
Swimming Baths
There are no swimming baths in your area. A paddling
pool was opened in June, 1937. The water is cleansed daily.
There have been no complaints with regard to the water.
