Works of flushing, baiting and jetting have continued as in previous years.
The television survey continues to show sewers with structural defects
and various schemes are being worked on with a view to their being
incorporated into the Council's rolling programme.
The Council's housing development programme has not had such a great
effect on the public sewers during the past year as it did in 1970.
