Drainage.
A good drainage system in connection with dwelling houses,
factories, etc., is a public health provision of the greatest importance.
For many years the system adopted was as follows:
One pipe to carry away all soil, etc., from W.C.'s
and Urinals.
One pipe to carry away all waste from sinks, baths,
etc.
This system was in universal use until 1934 when the
"One Pipe" system was introduced. As its name implies
this system consisted of one pipe to carry away both soil and
waste from all fittings with the necessary safeguards to prevent
siphonage.
At the present time experiments are being carried out with a
third system known as the "Single Stack" system. As in
the "One Pipe" system all waste products are carried away
by one pipe; the success of this system depends upon very
careful planning of the length and fall of the various branch
pipes.
This system has not yet been statutorily recognised but
it is evident that it has many features to commend it.
