SEWERS
I am indebted to the Director of Civil Engineering and Public Services for
supplying me with the following information with regard to sewers within the
Borough.
The works in connection with the Myatts Fields South Housing Scheme
Phases 1, 2, 3 and 7, outlined in my memorandum of 8th May, 1972 were
completed in 1972. The public sewer in Sussex Road was relaid at a cost of
£12,000 in December 1972 to February 1973 to complete the sewer works in
connection with the Loughborough Park Housing Redevelopment.
In order to prepare the site for the Brixton Station Redevelopment the
old Effra sewer crossing the site between Brixton Station Road and Canterbury
Crescent was diverted along Popes Road at a cost of £18,000. The work was
carried out in the period June 1972 - October 1972.
The work of renewing the public sewers has continued with the following
works:-
The Streatham Common South Heybridge Avenue Scheme, commenced
in January 1972 was completed in August 1972 at a total cost of £74,250.
The second stage of the Streatham High Road scheme required to replace
the old sewer in the road and to provide additional capacity for the run
off from the widened road between Streatham Station and Streatham Common
North Side was carried out between October 1972 and April 1973. The cost
of this scheme was £35,000.
Parts of the existing sewers in Mackay Road and Smedley Street were relaid
in the period September - December 1972 at a cost of £10,500.
Work commenced in December 1972 in Park Hill and Clarence Avenue
to replace the sewer which is undersize and in a poor structural condition.
This should be completed in September 1973. The tender price is £91,680.
In February 1973 work commenced on relining the invert for 800 metres
of the brick egg sewer in Norwood Road, together with a full relining
of 200 metres.
The works are between Croxted Road and Deerbrook Road. They are
expected to take 6 months and to cost £58,000.
