Sanitary Circumstances of the Area.
WATER.
Several large factories have private wells for drawing water
from the chalk, but practically the whole of the Borough is
supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water Board. The
supply is constant, and in every case it is conveyed directly to
the house. A few houses have storage tanks in the roof which
need periodical cleansing. The cleaning of these tanks is often
difficult owing to some of them being built into the roof with
no facilities for access.
