Samples taken-6th December 1908.
Remarks.--There has been 30 inches of rain since last examination, but none has fallen for the
last few weeks.
The river bed of the Vagavati is now dry, but water is obtained at a depth of 2 feet

Neither the river bed nor the banks are conserved above the gallery.
The supply is intermittent.

, different in kind.
(iii) There is a great purification of the water in the pipes ; of the two samples taken the one in the western
corner of the town shows fœcal bacilli in 50 cc. and in the eastern in 20 cc.
The chemical analysis demonstrates the fact that the water receives a good deal of pollution from the surface of
sand and that in the deeper layers the water is both softer and less polluted. The marked difference in the chlorine figure
the two samples and in the bacilli present suggests the presence of an underground steam from which the gallery obtains
of its supply. Obrously the water from the lower layers does not mix much with that from the upper.

REPORT
The sample taken from the spring in the bed of the river Vagavathy contains fœcal bacilli in 5 ca.
slight improvement on former analysis.
2. The sample from the suction well of infiltration gallery shows the water to be of about same quality as at,
namely, fœcal bacilli are present in 5 cc. The organisms present are not highly objectionable.
3. The two samples taken from the distributary system, one from the eastern corner and the other from •
western, are very similar to the above, fœcal bacilli being present in 5 cc.
4. Chemically the water is almost identical with the last analysis, the water being described as of fair qualit.

REPORT.
The reservoir water shows considerable pollution, objectionable bacilli being present in 1 cc.
The water from the tap at Muhammadan school shows some evidence of further pollution of the water, but
results require further investigation.

REPORT.
The water sample taken from the suction well of the infiltration gallery is a particularly bad one. It co
fœcal bacilli in • 0 1 c c . T h i s i s m u c h w o r s e t h a n t h e s a m p l e t a k e n l a s t q u a r t e r a n d a l s o c o n s i d e r a b l y w o r s e t h a n s a m p l e s o f ,
pipe line taken the same day (September 29th). The cause for this not apparent ; but it fairly certainly a tempor,
condition; further investigations will be undertaken.
The sample taken from tap near Mahammadan School contains fœcal bacilli in 1 cc. It contains very much the sa
bacilli as were present in the same sample last quarter and as these organisms do not appear in the sample from the galler
it is highly suggestive of silt in the pipes.
The sample taken from Punganur Amman Koil Street contains a larger number of harmless bacilli than
other sample which also suggests silt.
The water is a very hard one and contains a large quantity of calcium salt in solution ; the hardness is how
temporary so that most of it would disappear on boiling.
The chlorides and nitrates figures are both rather high ; this is probably due to the water passing through
salty soil. This is the most likely supposition (especially in so hard a water) ; but it may be due to old-standing poliution
.Recommendations.—The wash-out valves on the mains be opened whenever water can be spared for so doing
remove any silt that may have collected.
