side of North Wharf. Extensions of time had been granted from
time to time pending the completion of the London County Council
Relief Sewer under the Dock entrances, to which the drainage
could be connected. This work being completed, the Conservancy
pressed the matter.
The new sewer for the drainage of Cold Harbour being completed,
the Thames Conservancy were communicated with in order
that they might take steps to compel owners to cease discharging
sewage into the River Thames, but drain into the new sewer. A
list of premises discharging sewage into the River was forwarded
to the Conservancy.
The Surveyor reported that Campbell Road Sewer was in a
defective condition. It being an old pipe sewer of an obsolete kind,
the Surveyor proposed that a length of about 1,400 feet be reconstructed
with 12-inch pipes, the several premises connected thereto,
and the necessary manholes constructed.
The Borough Surveyor reported that the old brick-barrel sewer
draining a large area by Augusta Street, Poplar, and running in an
irregular line at the rear of houses abutting on the neighbouring
streets, from Lion Street to the High Street sewer, was in a very
defective state, and choked in places. The Surveyor proposed to
deal first with the more urgent work by reconstructing the sewer
in Southill Street (West of Kerbey Street), constructing a new sewer
in Giraud Street (South of Market Street), and part of Ricardo
Street, substituting a 9-inch pipe sewer for the brick barrel at the
fear of Nos. 1 to 37, Giraud Street, and connecting this portion of
the system with the Market Street sewer. The work comprised the
construction of about 670 feet of 12-inch and 450 of 9-inch pipe
sewer, with necessary manholes, and picking up of connections.
The Surveyor also put in about 500 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer to
replace the brick barrel at the rear of the houses drained.
