Water Analysis
The Bedfont and Feltham Wards of the District were supplied
by the South-West Suburban Water Company and the
Hanworth Ward by the Metropolitan Water Board. The water
supplied to this area by the South-West Suburban Water
Company was taken by the Company from the Metropolitan
Water Board. The water was derived from the River Thames,
purified in the storage reservoirs at Littleton, Staines, and
Walton, and filtered and chlorinated at the Hampton Works.
The water supply was satisfactory both as regards quantity
and quality.
Samples for bacteriological and chemical examination
were taken by the Metropolitan Water Board at all stages
of purification at least five times each week and eighteen raw
water and one hundred and twenty treated water samples
were taken by the South West Suburban Water Company,
including twelve in the Feltham area. In addition, four
samples were taken by my department.
