Devizes Corporation Water Supply. Its Inau-

 Cunnington, F.S.A. Scot. (Chairman of Water 

 Works Committee). 1914. 



Pamphlet, 8jin. X 5fin., pp., including title, 27, with sketch plan of 

 the site of the Avater works. 



Mr. Cunnington has brought together here a full and accurate account 

 of the history of the Devizes Water Works from 1876, when the question 

 of their provision was first mooted, down to the present year, when the 

 author is urging upon the Corporation the desirability of at once building 

 a new service reservoir of more adequate capacity than the present one, 

 and of increasing the yield of the wells by the driving of fresh adits 

 from their sides. The account is a valuable record of the various stages 

 of the works, of their cost, of the amount of water supplied, of analyses 

 of its contents, and of everything that concerns the past, present, and 

 future supply of water to the Borough of Devizes.
