VValer Supply.—The supply during 1937 has been satis- factory, both in regard to quality and ([uantity. No form of contamination has been experienced, and no new sources of supply were developed during the year. The usual quarterly samples taken from Borough Road and Ockford Works su])plies by the Health Depart- ment, all proved very satisfactory on analj^sis, as alsO' did those taken at various points of supply in the water area by the Water* Engineer. This system ensures an analysis of Godaiming water every six weeks throughout the year. A summary of the analyses is given lateit in the Report. Constant chlorination of the whole of the supply was carried out as in former years. Extensions of mains carried out during the year were as follows :— Within the Borough—1,275 yards (6in., 4in. and Sin. main). In Guildford Rural' District 22 yards of 3in. main. In Hambledon Rural District—3,679 yards (6in., 4in. and Sin.) main. Total : 4,976 yards.
