The Conference of South London Vestries and District

St. Saviour's (Southwark), Wandsworth and Clapham, and

Water supply for domestic purposes. The Lambeth
Water Act, 1848, section 37, specifies maximum limits
within which the Company may levy rates for domestic
supply, which rates are based on the Annual Value of the
dwelling house and on the number of the waterclosets.
These rates cover supply for all domestic purposes and no
extra charge for such supply is lawful.
