The water supply to premises in Tunbridge Wells is drawn from two sources, one at Pembury and the other at Saints’ Hill, Fordcombe, and again the supply was satisfactory both in quantity and quality throughout the year. The water from Pembury is mainly spring water augmented for about half the year from borewells, and the water from Saints’ Hill is solely from borewells. Water from Tangiers Waterworks goes into supply outside the Borough and bacteriological samples are taken regularly. In addition regular samples are taken of the Chalybeate Spring on the Pantiles and all proved satisfactory. Three samples of untreated water from private supplies to two premises on the outskirts of the Borough proved unsatis¬ factory.
