WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply througout the District is
furnished by the Metropolitan Water Board. It
is of excellent quality and the supply to all houses
is constant.
RIVERS AND STREAMS.
It has not been found necessary to take any
action with regard to the pollution of Rivers and
Streams in this area. The Thames Conservancy
are responsible for the inspection of the Thames
and its tributaries , to ascertain if there is any
pollution, and I have had no communication from
their officials in regard to such matter.
