3. The water supplied has no plumbo-solvent action but
samples are tested for presence of metals.
4. No action has been required in respect of contamination
of the water. All water is chlorinated before distribution.
5. With the exception of a few outlying cottages (some of
which are likely to be scheduled for demolition when the
housing position permits) all the houses in the area are
supplied from the public water mains. Only a very limited
number of houses are supplied by standpipes common to two
or more houses, the vast majority being supplied direct.
Food Poisoning
No cases of food poisoning have been notified to me
during the year.
Conclusion
In conclusion I should like to thank the members of the
Committee for the support which they have given me during
the year and also to thank Mr. Bell and the staff of the
department for their able and willing assistance.
F. H. WOODS,
