REPORT BY SEWERS SURVEYOR
Of Work executed from Lady-day, 1869, to Lady-day, 1870.
Gentlemen,
I have to report, pursuant to your instructions, upon the
works carried out under my supervision during the past year.
SEWERS.
Upwards of 3,936 feet run of pipe sewers and upwards of
7,236 feet run of brick Hewers have been constructed in the District
during the year in the following localities, viz.: in
Court Hill Road and
Ryecroft Road
900ft. of 3ft. x 2ft. brick sewer.
1862ft. of 15in. pipe sewer.
914ft. of 12in. pipe sewer.
Canterbury Road and
Ravensbonrne Villas
880ft. of 15in. pipe sewer.
280ft. of 12in „
Also Catford Hill and
Perry Vale Sewer
3562ft. of 3ft.9in. x 2ft. 6in. brick sewer.
2774ft. of 3ft. 0in. x 2ft. 0in. „ „
The sewer in Court Hill Road, &c., was executed at the expense
of the owners of property at a cost of £1,023 5s. 6d., and a considerable
number of the houses were drained into the same, and
proceedings are being taken to enforce the drainage of the remainder.
The Canterbury Road sewer cost £228 11s. 4d.; and the sum
of £90 was contributed by the owners of the property towards the
cost of the same.
The cost of the sewer in and along Perry Vale was
£3,596 17s. 6d., and was defrayed by a loan. This sewer will be
of great benefit to this rapidly increasing locality, and will secure
the efficient drainage from the surrounding neighbourhood, as
other main sewers will be connected therewith from the several
new streets.
In addition to the sewers executed by the Board, several have
been applied for by owners of property, viz.:—
Maberley Road, Belvedere Road, Penge.
Fairland Park, Lower Sydenham.
Sabin's Lane, Catford Hill.
