WATER SUPPLY.
In last year's Report it was noted that the Metropolitan Water Act
requires the provision of a cistern for the storage of water in all premises.
In many, probably most, houses in Tottenham the drinking water
is derived from the storage cistern, which is seldom or never cleansed.
It is worthy of consideration whether these cisterns serve any useful
purpose and their provision should be insisted upon, or whether in new
houses or in those where water fittings are being overhauled, it would
not be more advantageous to derive the household supply from the main
pipe, without the intervention of a cistern.
PUBLIC SWIMMING BATHS—CONSTANT FILTRATION.
The closure of the Public Swimming Baths at the end of the season
gave the Council the opportunity of installing a Bell Constant Filtration
Plant.
When the Swimming Season opens in 1927, it may confidently be
expected that the purity of the water of the Bath will add to its increased
popularity and usefulness.
