In the Parish of Tooting, 60 drains, comprising
about 884 feet of 9-inch pipe and 320 feet of 6 inch pipe,
have been laid under new roads at the time of and in
conjunction with the construction of new sewers; these
are intended to drain 514 houses when built (the
provision being in many cases for a future system of rear
drainage by combined operation). Thus an aggregate
of over one-third of a mile of drains has been laid
under public roads and paths during the year.
In the Parish of Wandsworth, the whole of the
above-mentioned works have been executed by the Board
without the intervention of a contractor. In addition to
the above, 420 feet of 9-inch and 3,960 feet of 6-inch
pipe drains have been laid under new roads by the
owners at the time of and in conjunction with the construction
of new sewers; these are intended to drain
about 530 houses when built.
