REPORT.
Infiltration Gallery.— (i) Water from infiltration gallery (Sample V) is fairly good, but the sample taken is
bably contaminated with dust, as it is a difficult sample to obtain without kicking dust on to the surface of the well ; it shows
al bacilli in 1 cc. and total colonies 250.
(ii) A sample from most northerly tap (Sample I) shows what is probably the real bacteriological contents of this
er, viz., fœcal bacilli in 5 cc. and upwards. Both analyses I and II and V suggest pollution of old stand and not recent.
(iii) The sample from the most westerly tap probably contains a mixture of infiltration gallery water and well water ;
Ice no observati ons can be made.
Well water-supply.— (i) This is very inferior in quality to the infiltration gallery. The well itself may be
taminated by dust, but it shows fœcal bacilli in 1/100 of a cc. and the bacilli isolated point to what is probably more recent
lution than is the case with the infiltration gallery water.
(ii) Sample taken from a tap in front of the pumping station and yielding well water probably gives more accurately
quality of the water and that shows it to be inferior to the other supply and to contain objectionable organisms in 1 cc.
The water will be further investigated.
Recommendations.—That if the well has not a cover it should be supplied with one.

Samples takes 14th October 1908.
Ii emarks—This quarter the deep well is not used as a source of supply because the infiltration
gallery is giving a good yield ; consequently samples were not taken
There have been about 6 inches of rain since the water was last examined ; this has
removed the difficulty that existed in Supplying the lo ?yin.
The supply is still intermittent.

REPORT.
332
(1) The sample of water taken from the collecting chamber in the infiltration gallery shows a considerable imp
ment in quality on previous quarters. The few bacilli present however are objectionable.
(2) The sample taken from fountain No. 10 shows a very extraordinary state of affairs. The number of f
organisms is not great, but the varieties isolated are distinctly objectionable. The same remarks apply to the samples t
from the pipe line last quarter. A further investigation on this point will be undertaken.
Chemically the water is almost identical with the last quarter. It is very hard.

REPORT.
The spring water is very highly polluted ; it contains fæcal bacilli in .01 c.c.
(ii) The filtered water is improved, but sand filters ought to have a much greater purifying action than these
if they are properly constructed and properly worked. A sample of the surface sand should be sent for inspection to
i d e r s i g n e d . T h e f i l t e r e d w a t e r c o n t a i n s f æ c a l b a c i l l i i n 1 c . c .
(iii) Sample (iii) taken from fountain opposite Musthan Sahib's tomb shows an increase in the number of bacilli
it but as the water has traversed 6 miles of pipes this is not unusual.
(iv)
The same remark applies to samples IV and V taken from reservoir and fountain 12, Old. Madras Road,
actively. The quality of the water in these pipes suggests that the pipes contain silt and are increasing some objectionable
of bacilli.
The blow-off cocks should be opened to see if this is correct.
Recommendation.— Further investigation and inspection are necessary.

(ii)The water after it has passed through the filtering medium is not improved.

REPORT.
The sample of water taken from the spring is extremely bad one. It contains fœcal bacilli in ·01 cc. The bacilli
sent however do not indicate very recent pollution.
The same remarks apply to sample 2 taken from the place where the water is let into the masonry conduit.
The sample taken from fountain No. 19 shows that some improvement is gone on as the water goes down the pipes.
fœcal bacilli are however still present in ·1 cc.
The sample taken from the reservoir itself shows still further improvement ; but more objectionable organisms are
This would appear as though dust was finding its way on to the surface of water in the reservoir.
The same remarks apply to sample of water taken from fountain in No. 12.
The supply as a whole cannot be looked upon as satisfactory for this time of the year and is very considerably worse
last quarter.
Chemically the water has not altered very much in quality, but there is a marked increase in the quantity of nitrates
This is Probably due to the diminution in quantity of the water.
