WATER SUPPLY. The water supply of the Borough is derived almost wholly
from the Metropolitan Water Board. A small portion of the Cranford area is
supplied by the South West Suburban Water Company. There are in the Borough 41

with water supplies was carried out during the year:-

DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE. The drainage and sewerage of almost the whole of

While the Borough is responsible for the local sewerage of its own district
the duty of the disposal of sewage is the responsibility of the Middlesex County
Council, whose West Middlesex Drainage Undertaking has been in full operation
since 1936.
During the second half of the year an offensive smell from the works was
very prevalent in a considerable area around the works. The long period of dry
hot weather was undoubtedly a contributory factor. By the end of the year, the
position had greatly improved and it is to be hoped that the measures taken at
the works will prevent a recurrence.
RIVERS AND STREAMS No complaint of pollution was made to the Health
Department during 1964.
CLOSET ACCOMMODATION. The closet accommodation of the Borough consists
almost wholly of water closets connected to the sewers. A few water closets drain
to cesspools, and the odd house on the outskirts of the Borough has a pail or
chemical closet. The following works were carried out during the year:-
