1. The Bedfont and Feltham Wards of the District
are supplied by the South West Suburban Water Co.
and the Hanworth Ward by the Metropolitan Water
Board. The water supply has been satisfactory both as
regards quantity and quality, although concern has been
expressed at the results of some of the chemical analyses,
the bacteriological results have been satisfactory due to
effective chlorination.
2. Bacteriological and chemical analyses are made
by the supply companies, seventy-two by the South West
Suburban Water Company and by the Metropolitan
Water Board 662 from the Hampton Works and 819
from Kempton Park Works. In addition, samples of
each supply were taken quarterly by my department.
There is an arrangement between my Council and the
Councils of the following districts :
Hayes and Harlington
Windsor
Egham
Bagshot
Easthampstead
by which the water supplied by the South West Suburban
Water Company to the combined districts is
sampled twenty-five times a year on a rota.
