Llangwm Ferry Water Supply.

During the remainder of the year water was obtained from a fountain which was open to cattle and unfit for human consumption. It was stated that “if these few houses were supplied with water, the whole of the parish would also want to be supplied.” Burton Parish Council considered that the water supply was sufficient.
