Public health Reports;
1939 Bolehill has also been connected up to the Wigwell Supply, thereby assuring a water supply to houses in the highest part of this district.
1944 The first half of the year was attended with difficulties owing to the Pump & Engine at Wigwell being overhauled and not being completed till well into June.
1947 During the year a new cylinder block was fitted to tho Wigwell Diesel Pumping Engine and other repairs wore carried out.
1954 For many years now I have pressed for the removal of the old diesel plant from tho Wigwell Borehole and the electrification of this scheme.
Towards the end of the year under review the Council sanctioned this work and I hope that in the early part of 1955 the necessary Electric Submersible Pumpset will be installed.
1959 Wigwell Borehole Raw water at Discharge Point into Wash Green Reservoir. (Fluoride levels given in a table)
1960 The submersible pump from the Wigwell Borehole hes been withdrawn and at the time of writing this report is still in the hands of the manufacturers for reconditioning.
