Correspondence files created by the Waterworks Engineer, later the Assistant Waterworks Engineer, relating to the management and maintenance of the Corporation Waterworks.
Original filing numbers show that this set of files is mostly intact, however there are some gaps suggesting a few files may have been transferred to other filing systems or disposed of at some point.
These correspondence files cover a wide range of subjects relating to the waterworks including: water treatment and sterilisation; water pumping; repairs and maintenance; new sources of water; spring gaugings; defence of waterworks undertakings during World War 2; sanitary conditions and sewage disposal; development of waterworks estate lands; weekly work lists; employment conditions for staff; fire hydrants; air raid precautions; bulk supplies of water from other organisations; waste water prevention; the Bristol, Bath and Mendip Area water supply scheme; supply of water to housing estates; and the Air Ministry (later Royal Air Force) and Charmy Down Aerodrome.Original Filing Ref No.:
