It was not the usual crowd of people queueing up for the standpipe.
They installed a six mile pipeline and put standpipes in the centre of the village.
The standpipe for water supply had been dismantled and was useless.
Tougher safety standards were imposed for theaters and other public buildings, including fire-resistant curtains, alarm systems, fire extinguishers and standpipes.
Drinking water was supplied by standpipes connected to the mains water supply nearest to each group's tent.
Any complaints regarding supply were addressed to the local turncock, who would reopen standpipes or arrange for water to run for longer periods.
The number of houses per standpipe averaged 7.7 and in no company area exceeded 9 residencies.
What is the law governing the compulsory provision of water through standpipes by the local authority?
