l The survey feund 74€ residential premises in Louisville that
2 do not have u connection te the city wet r system. These
_ premises nrc fairly well iistributed throughout the city with
E the exception of three districts. One district, known es
r i "Little Africa", (Enumeration District Nc. 7), ccntcins 25l
l
Q premises without city water; encther, the Highlands north
E of Berdstcwn Road, hes three such premises; the third, the
s
1 Highlands seuth ef Bardstown Reed, has one such premise. There
\ l .
are e number of premises located sc that they cannot connect to
the city water system, but the large msjerity of these ere located
in alleys between two streets that huve city wcter mains. These
premises can be serviced et the present time only by cressing
cnether.ewner’s prcpcrty,
When it is·censiGcred that numerous houses have been built
en the rear of large lets, it is net difficult to understand that
there are 54O premises that ere using carry containers. Many
premises so supplied are quite likely sijecent to s city water
main, but for various rcesens the ewner has failed te provide
separate service.
` Lt first reading it may seem ineengruous that 540 premises
ore using carry centuiners, that there are 522 seurcos other than
city water, still 7%6 premises without city wwtor. But there is
no reletienship to be assumed between these strtements. It is
V©ry possible fer ell ef the 540 premises te be using city water,
' theugh carried from nearby residences,
There ere seventy—feur premises which heve beth city water
. Q and e cistcrn, well er spring.
E l r

 E  i io
Sources
1 1 There are 582 premises using either cistern, well or
Q spring water. As there are only Z22 such sources, it is quite
l evident thet, in many instances, one source is supplying more
\ then one premise. A tabulation ef the cisterns, springs end
1
\ different types of wells indicates that thirty—four community
systems are supplying weter to ninety-three premises. The
number of sources are: Wells drilled, 66; driven, 117; dug,
$4; Totel wells, 217; Cisterns, 104; Springs, l.
Of the 382 premises using w ell, cistcrn or spring water,
2lO or 55% of them are located in the area just cast of the
State Fairgrounds commonly celled "Little Africs." It is
generally egreed that the soil in this eree is of e very sandy
_ texture, end in mest instances the water has received e ncturel
purification to some extent.
Approximately 25% or oightyéone of the totel Z22 actual
sources, are so situated that drainage from privy, cesspeols,
1 bernyerd or the general terrain is sway from the source. This
' shows that 75% of the water sources other than city weter ere
receiving drainage from e fixed possible source of pollution,
