REPORT.
The less bad results noticed when this water-supply was examined at this season last year have not been
maintained. We see on this occasion total counts far too high for well waters, and in addition there are a
great many fœcal germs showing a most undesirable variety of species. The water is indeed very like what
it was in June, that is extensively if not very recently polluted.
Chemically the water of the Camp Well is the best though the figure for oxygen absorption and for
albummoid nitrogen are both on the high side and the ratio between them points to the organic matter being
more of animal than vegetable origin. The other two waters are much alike and show high figures for
oxidised nitrogen, the sign of old pollution as well. They are both harder also.
