:
The following is an extract from the Report of Dr. E. P. Minėtt, Govera ment Bacteriologist, on the work of the Department in 1923
The number of water analyses carried out has very greatly increased as will be seen by the figures below. In addition six extra filtering plants have been taken on for regular examination.
In April, May, and June, a thorough investigation of the public water supplies was carried out by the Government Analyst and Government Bacteriologist. a large amount of very valuable data was obtained as a result of the above.
