SEWERAGE
The main sewers and the sewerage disposal system in London are the responsibility
of the G.L.C. Rainwater and soil sewage are carried in the
same sewers, but the arrangements for Hammersmith are not yet adequate
inasmuch that some basements in the Borough are liable to flooding from
time to time when heavy storms cause the sewers to be surcharged.
