SEWERAGE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL
The arrangements in the borough are under the administration
of the Borough Council and the London County Council, the latter
authority being responsible for sewage disposal.
TRADE EFFLUENTS
The London County Council General Powers Act of 1962 gave
further powers regarding trade effluents discharged into sewers,
and the prevention of flooding. There has been no recent flooding
of basement premises, and the question of the discharge of trade
effluents was still under consideration at the end of the year.
The powers and duties of the Council under Parts II and III
of the Act have been included in the terms of reference of the
Public Health Committee.
REFUSE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
There are now twenty eight properties where ashpits are still
in use, a number of which are below ground level. There has been
a concentrated drive to get rid of this type of refuse storage, and
considerable improvement has been made.
Consideration has been given to a suggestion for the installation
of paper bag dustbin receptacles, but as the disadvantages
outweighed the advantages, the Council decided not to support this
proposal.
