WATER SURELY
The whole of the area is supplied by the Metropolitan Water Board. and
the supply has been satisfactory both as regards quantity and quality. In
view of the large number of routine bacteriological, and chemical examinations
carried out by the Water Examination Department of the Board it was not
considered necessary to make any routine tests. All dwelling houses in the
area are supplied by public water mains direct to the houses.

sewage disposal works of the Borough of Sutton and Cheam at Worcester Park
