Thb City Water Supply. — We have received a small bottle of water drawn from a service tap in. St. Johp street, and the water' in question is certainly not fit to drink without first being filtered, for the bottom of the bottle, when allowed to rest for a few seconds, is coated with sediment, : Steps should be at once taken by the Corporation to prevent such water being supplied to consumers. We understand that complaint has been made to the Corporation officials by the resident from whose tap the water was drawn, and that no notice has been taken of the complaint so far. It is possible that sediment finds its way into the terminal pipes tn aide streets, and accumulates therein, but if so provision should be made for getting rid of what may prove dangerous to health.
