Waterford: gathering ground of 2400 acres in Carrick- 
philip, Knockaderry, Cronolish, Caheruane, Ballyleen, 
Ballyrobin, Coolrattin, Smoor, and Ballycraddock town- 
lands ; all arable land (except 60 acres of turf bog), between 
224 and 510 feet elevation. The Borough own 82 acres 
under reservoir at Knockaderry and plantations. There 
are 14 farm holdings and labourers’ cottages on the gather- 
ing ground. The farms have the right of water for cattle, 
so special precautions against contamination are not 
taken. 
Dungarvan *: intake from stream at 194 feet elevation, 
with gathering ground of 675 acres in Glendine Mountain 
in Ballintoor and Deelish townlands, mountain grazing with 
one house upon it. The Council own none of the land. 
The water is filtered. 
Youghal: gathering ground of 1077 acres, 7 miles dis- 
tant, in Coolbeggan townland, between 400 and 500 feet 
elevation, comprising 977 acres of mountain grazing and 
100 acres of arable land. The Council own only the site 
of the filter beds, about 4 acre. There are 5 or 6 farm- 
steads on the gathering ground, but the danger of con- 
tamination from these is said to be slight, owing to the 
small proportion of arable land and the great extent of 
poorly grazed mountain waste, with marshy land in the 
valley. 
Middleton: gathering ground of 2481 acres in Bally- 
nakilla, Ballynabrannagh, Ballyvatta, Clash, Condonstown, 
Dooneen, Glengarriff, and Leamlara townlands, between 200 
and 600 feet elevation, all arable land, except 10 acres of 
plantations. There are 35 dwelling-houses and 64 farm 
holdings on the area, none of which is owned by the 
Council. No measures are taken against contamination on 
the gathering ground, but the water is filtered.

Tibbotstown, and Ballynakilla townlands, north of Carrigto- 
hill, between 415 feet (level of the reservoir) and 527 feet
