WATER SUPPLY.
The supply from the Grand Junction Water
Company was very satisfactory. Five samples of
well water have been taken during the year, four
of which were found on analysis to be good, and
one was contaminated with organic matter and
unfit for domestic purposes. The owner's attention
was called to it, and he closed the well and provided
a supply from the Grand Junction Water Company.
OVERCROWDING.
One case of over-crowding came under notice.
The attention of the agent for the property was
directed to the matter and he at once took steps to
have the number of inmates reduced.
ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
No provision is yet made for the Isolation of
Infectious Disease, and the remarks I made in
many former reports still apply.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
TH. GÜNTHER, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health.
January, 1899.
