42ab3b75-fe23-4edb-bdaf-f681063e2e43 | In my report for 1895 the subject was very fully discussed, and as the 48 matter is one involving as it does the expenditure of many millions of the public money as well as the health and lives of the community, and in which every public man should take a strong personal interest, a condensed account of the present pos... |
4c88949e-75af-4106-9016-25278610f308 | Hill is supplying Manchester from Thirlmere. The witnesses examined include nearly one hundred of the leading sanitarians and engineers, together with representatives of the great public bodies of the Metropolis and elsewhere, the Local Government Board, the London County Council, the Corporation of London, and the var... |
417e493c-cc6e-4ed2-b840-37c7acdeb5e0 | They find, as the Companies always maintained, that " the water as supplied to the consumer in London is of a very high standard of excellence and of purity, and that it is suitable in quality for all household purposes," and also that the Thames and Lea Valleys may, without prejudice to the claims or material injury t... |
611cec17-161e-45ac-950c-2700ece86fba | From the Thames, when required, may be taken 300,000,000 gallons a day ; from the Lea, 52,500,000 gallons; from wells in the Lea Valley, 40,000,000 gallons; and from wells in the Kent Company's district, 27,500,000 gallons; besides a further considerable quantity, should it ever be wanted, from the Valley of the Medway... |
da4edc43-f162-4774-be64-95ed48964e53 | These are:— (1) The effect which might be expected upon the Thames of taking double the present quantity of the water from the river during periods of drought. (2) The amount of storage space to be provided above the intakes in order to make the taking of any more of this water unnecessary. The conclusion of the Commis... |
7301f9f1-5a51-40bc-9f3b-bdb9a973853e | In their report, however, they very properly advise that further efforts shall be made to keep pollution of all kinds out of the Rivers, and maintain their purity in every possible way. The Commissioners then state that— "We are strongly of opinion that the water as supplied to the consumer in London is of a very high ... |
312f6b69-4025-400a-8dc1-43332428177d | "With respect to the quantity of water which can be obtained within the watersheds of the Thames and the Lea, we are of opinion that, if the proposals we have recommended are adopted, a sufficient supply to meet the wants of the Metropolis for a long time to come may be found without any prejudice to the claims, or mat... |
22fc2b81-8494-4605-9a8e-fa4272bb8eb1 | We think it of very great importance that distinct obligations should be laid upon any company or Local Authority which is allowed to pump water from the chalk for purposes of public supply to keep accurate observation of the effect of their operations on the level of the water in the wells from which they pump, and re... |
223b134b-f91d-4849-9cab-5f554a1bb764 | We are of opinion that, by the construction of storage reservoirs in the Thames Valley, at no great distance above the intakes of the Companies, it will be possible to obtain an average daily supply of 300,000,000 gallons without taking in any objectionable part of the flood water. The average daily flow of the Thames ... |
4a2daeb3-273c-4ed5-a9dd-cde20609fdc1 | It will thus be seen that, when 300,000,000 gallons are taken, there will be left to flow down into the tidal portion of the river an average daily quantity of not less than 1,000,000,000; and we think that regulations could be framed under which the quantity we suggest could be taken, not only without reducing the flo... |
a7387a57-c5a7-4cba-82b0-3b013c2765f8 | From the sources and by the methods we have mentioned, a daily supply of 424,000,000 gallons can, in our opinion, be obtained. This is a sufficient quantity to supply 35 gallons per head to a population of 12,000,000 persons, which is about three-quarters of a million in excess of what the total population of Greater L... |
b09a5460-bee4-4fe8-b40c-5fc075b71912 | Inst., C.E., Chief Engineer to the London County Council, was the most important. Sir A. R. Binnie's evidence was to the effect that the supply that could be drawn from the Thames and the Lea was wholly insufficient to meet the future wants of Greater London; and he stated that, in his opinion, deeper storage reservoir... |
613afe24-852b-4068-910e-6fbef45b273b | An admirable synopsis of the views of the London County Council and its chief officials appeared in the British Medical Journal, which is here closely followed. Mr. Basset Hopkins, the Chairman of Committee, in his memorandum, insists strongly on the narrowness of the scope of the inquiry by the Royal Commission, and p... |
83578d1c-3f34-4b8e-8b60-03b1c8bf4237 | Considerable stress is laid on the shortness of the term of forty years to which the Commission have limited their forecast. The capacity of the Thames and Lea watersheds as sources of supply may be expected to have reached, or nearly reached, their limit about the year 1931, and then it will be impossible any 54 furth... |
f8498ad5-216d-4964-b70a-b20aa8176dd5 | "One of the greatest blots upon the finding of the Royal Commission" is that "it can in no way be considered a final settlement of the case." This limitation of forecast to forty years is all the more curious in view of the fact that two members of the Royal Commission, giving evidence before the House of Lords on the ... |
0f08ec2f-2bd3-4da2-96f7-e85703b0ed6a | The Royal Commissioners contemplating taking 300 million gallons from the Thames daily, trusting to the fact that the average daily flow at Teddington weir is about 1,350 million gallons; but he shows that during certain dry months the total average flow would often only slightly exceed the amount of water required by ... |
5c7308b2-288f-4408-b7c3-e42994a535fb | This evidence was to the effect that neither chemical nor bacteriological tests were to be relied on as to the purity of water, that we did not know how small an amount of morbific material, if it gained access to the water, might set up disease, and that the way to gain information as to purity and safety was to searc... |
84dcdf41-5f88-42ad-8710-2766ac87c7b7 | It seems that at the census of 1891 there was a population of 1,056,415 persons draining into the river above the intakes, and that in the last thirty years this population had increased from 816,814 to its present number. That, however, gives but a poor idea of the increase which is going on in the urban population li... |
543b86eb-3fa3-4428-9cbb-03038ffa1cf0 | The Royal Commission had before it evidence, he says, which showed that the rivers from which the Water Companies draw their supplies receive from the towns, situated on their banks at varying distances above the intakes sewage effluents, which, after treatment of the sewage, either by filtration . through land or by c... |
2b0b1077-343c-45e3-826f-0daa449593f7 | Not only are these diseases known to be waterborne, but experience has shewn that a very small amount of the excremental matter of persons suffering from them is capable under favourable circumstances of infecting vast volumes of water. In the present state of knowledge on such matters we are driven back to much the sa... |
99fc295f-c462-4d72-86b5-c7b6cc2b725f | Although very little is definitely said on the subject, the impression which the perusal of the report leaves upon the mind is that the whole control of the water supply, from the sources to the final delivery to the consumer, should be in the hands of one 57 authority, and that the time has arrived when competing comp... |
07468ef6-2536-498b-921a-120826c2b95a | Since writing above, the Government have intimated that a Royal Commission would be appointed to consider the whole subject of the Metropolitan Water Supply, together with the report of the London Water Commission, and the President of the Local Government Board, in answer to a question in the House of Commons, stated ... |
