The drains in all these premises have been
entirely re-constructed thoughout with stoneware
pipes embedded in concrete with cement joints.
All wastes from sink and all rain water pipes were
made to discharge over earthenware syphon gullies
Earthenware syphon gullies have been used in
all cases to take off surface water in yards, etc.,
and have taken the place of various descriptions
of defective and useless traps. The whole of the
drains have been ventilated. In all but one
instance fresh air inlets have been provided.
Syphon intercepting traps have been provided
in every case, and inspection manholes have been
constructed in every case where necessary.
Estimated cost of the whole of above works
is £425.
In conclusion, we may state that the carrying out of the
"Infectious Diseases Notification Act," has involved a very
considerable amount of extra work during the past year, as will be
seen from the figures relating to disinfecting in the tabulated work
before mentioned.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient Servants,
RICHARD SKIDMORE WRACK, Sanitary Inspectors.
