Committee considered whether householders should be allowed to lay service pipes at their own expense from existing mains or whether Council should lay additional mains in principal streets with service pipes under the control of Council to houses. The second option was considered safest and most profitable. Committee noted that there were presently only two nine-inch mains in the City.
