The chairman said he had been induced to call the meeting from representations that there was a defective water supply to the district. … (discussion) … Mr. Brown said there was no necessity at all for water at the bottom of the hill. As far as he was concerned everyone could have water from his pump free – (hear, hear). Mr. Pinsent was of the opinion that water should be obtained from some other source, and the only one was the Southampton local Boards of health, but then they would be brought under that body.

He proposed that a committee should be formed to consider the best means for obtaining a good supply of Water. Mr. Kennell seconded the resolution. …
