DRAINAGE.
Notices and plans have been received for the building and
drainage of various premises in the district, and have been
submitted to and approved of by the Board.
Every drain, where practicable, is now tested with smoke or
water, in the presence of the Inspector. This work involves a
large amount of labour, and absorbs a great deal of the time of
your staff; especially so has this been the case during the past
year, for, in addition to the ordinary building operations, two vast
estates, one at Deptford Park, and one at Ivy Farm, Greenwich,
were opened, and are being rapidly developed.
Every endeavour is made to meet the convenience of builders
and to facilitate the execution of the work.
During the year 118 new connections have been made with
the Board's sewers and those of the London County Council,
entailing a cost to the applicants of about £550.
