REPORT.
The samples as a whole this quarter are better than last. The river water itself is purer and the water in the pi<illegible/>
line is also of better quality. The sample of water taken immediately after filtration shows that foecal bacilli are present<illegible/>
5 cc. This is fairly satisfactory but it should be possible to get greater purification. Unfortunately it is most improba<illegible/>
that any improvement on this result will ever be obtained in Tanjore for two reasons (i) there is little or no subsoil flow
water and (ii) the sand is so very coarse that adequate filtration is impossible with this kind of material.
A further inspection of this gallery will be made when the river is not in flood to see if anything can be suggest
to improve the filtration of the water.
The water in the pipe line contains fæcal bacilli in 5 cc. but as in last quarter's results the sample taken from<illegible/>
hydrant outside the station is worse than the other samples. This is probably due to the fact that the small cistern fr<illegible/>
which this tap is supplied requires cleaning out. This should be done.
The chemical analysis shows that the water is rather hard, but is otherwise a fair water.
It is interesting to note that Tanjore and Trichinopoly have practically the same source of supply, vi z. , t he Ca<i l l egi bl e/>
and Coleroon water. At the time of taking this sample the water at Tanjore is a little better than that at Trichinopoly<illegible/>
to settlement that has taken place on route, but in a high flood the samples were almost identical in quality.
The pipe water is vastly superior to the well water of Tanjore as taken from so good a well as that <illegible/>
central jail.

The sample taken at the head works immediately after filtration through the gallery is not materially

REPORT.
(i) The river water is highly polluted, faecal bacilli existing in 1/100 of a cc.
(ii) Water from close to filtration gallery is improved by the filtration, but is still far from satisfactory, f æ cal bacilli
<illegible/>
present in 1 cc.
(iii) The water in the distributary system, especially the sample from the Railway tap, is somewhat inferior to the
<illegible/>sample. Multiplication of harmless water bacilli has taken place in the pipes.
Recommendation. —Further investigation and inspection will be necessary and will be undertaken by the undersigned.

T RI CI HNOP OLY.
Samples taken—20th October 1908.
Remarks.—The water is taken from an infiltration gallery, some 520 feet being situated in the bed
of the Cauvery. There are also two shaliow wells in the sand of the river that
are connected to the system. The gallery runs parallel to the river banks. The
water is pumped direct into the mains, but a storage reservoir is in course of
construction in the Fort Hill. The supply to the town is intermittent.
The gallery is not working well ; there is a leakage of river water into it with little
or no filtration.
There has been a fair amount of local rainfall ; on the 19th there was an inch. The
rainfall at the source of the river, viz., in Coors, is now rapidly decreasing so that
much more local surface water finds its way into the river. At the time of sampling;
the water was fairly clear and was about 4 feet deep.
The daily quantity supplied to the town is 1,800,000 gallons.
