In each instance where the Council have
executed drainage works either at the request

On inspection the drains belonging to the
Hook Elementary Schools were found to be in a
defective condition.
The Manager's attention was drawn to this

drains to be re-laid, the old insanitary trough
latrines abolished and new School Board pedestal
closets with separate flushing cisterns to be
provided.
During the year the drains of 212 houses and
premises have been entirely relaid and provided
with manholes for inspection and cleansing purposes
and all up-to-date improvements.
