The Metropolitan Water Board was formed in 1903 to unify London's water suppliers. It took over the New River Company and thereby became responsible for the New River. The Board itself was absorbed into the Thames Water Authority in 1973. The New River is now the responsibility of the Environment Agency. This sign has done well to survive.
