Cold Water tap
refers to a tap within the building. It does not
include a tap in an open yard or a public standpipe.
Hot Water tap
means water piped to any form of heating appliance
which will allow hot water to be drawn from a tap
within the building, e.g. a boiler tank with immersion
heater, geyser, or sink heater.
Fixed bath
means a bath permanently installed with a waste pipe
leading outside the building. It does not matter for
this purpose whether there is water piped to it or
whether the room where it is installed is used only
as a bathroom or not.
It will be noted from the above figures that nearly 60 per cent. of all households
in the Borough are without a piped hot water supply and 45 per cent. entirely without a
fixed bath in their house. Over half have to share a water closet. These indices are a
measure of the urgent necessity for the modernisation of the majority of housing premises
in the Borough in order to provide minimum amenity standards which today, are considered
necessary for all.
