I have had no complaints regarding the adequacy of this supply, but I understand that it may need augmentation to meet growing demands from industrial and other consumers and that the matter is being considered by the county council. The question of notice to consumers before cutting off a supply is one for the sanitary authority.
Question No. 56 postponed.
