SEWERS RELAID.
DEVOXPORT ROAD.
A complaint having been made that sewage water
had risen in the basements of three houses in Devonport
Road, the sewer was opened out, and on examination was
found to be choked with fine sand and sewage, and it was
considered that the only remedy to relieve the houses
was to relay the sewer, which was done at a cost of
£218 . 18 . 3. The existing manholes were built up
with 9-inch brickwork to the level of the surface of the
road, and fitted with ventilating covers.
GULLIES.
Sixty-eight additional stoneware gullies have been built
and the connections to the sewer made, and nine gullies
have been cleaned out and made watertight in the new
streets taken to by the Vestry. Thirty have been fixed by
Vestry's workmen in different roads in the Parish where
new channelling has been laid, and also where it was
found difficult to drain the water when relaying the
channelling.
The gullies are cleansed regularly in the summer once
every month and flushed with water, and in winter once
every six weeks. Two horses and carts, with men, havebeen
employed 497 days removing 1,487 loads of slop.
