Conveniences provided by the London Passenger Transport
Board at Southgate and Oakwood Underground Stations are also
available to the public.
All public conveniences in the district are inspected by
members of the Public Health Department staff. This inspection
includes conveniences in our parks and open spaces, and conveniences
provided for the use of the public in public houses and
hotels. Defects are brought to the notice of the Borough Surveyor's
Department, or are notified to the proprietors of the premises in
which the public conveniences in question are situated.
Ponds and Rubbish Dumps.—These continue to be kept under
observation. During the summer months, spraying was carried out
where and when necessary to prevent insect breeding.
As in 1949, improvement in respect of the dumping of rubbish
on undeveloped land was effected.
Water Supply.—The water supply of the district, which is
almost entirely supplied by the Metropolitan Water Board, remains
satisfactory in quality and quantity. The supply is from high
pressure mains.
All houses in the district are provided with a direct pipe
supply, the few wells which previously existed having now been
discontinued. It was not considered necessary to carry out any
bacteriological or chemical examinations of drinking water during
the year. There is no evidence of any plumbo-solvent action in
the water.
Collection and Disposal of Refuse.— The Borough Engineer
and Surveyor, who is responsible for this service, reports that the
fleet of vehicles used consists of ten Scammel Self-loaders. A
weekly collection from all dwelling houses in the Borough is being
carried out. The total tonnage of refuse collected and dealt with
at the Destructor during the year 1950/51 was 17,740 tons.
