Sewerage and Sewage Disposal
The trunk sewers and sewage disposal in London are the responsibility
of the London County Council; the local sewers, which discharge into
the trunk sewers, are the responsibility of the City Council.
All premises in Westminster are connected to the main drainage
system, the sewage passing to disposal works maintained by the London
County Council outside the City.
The arrangements for Westminster would appear to be adequate; in
1964 there were no occasions on which heavy storms caused the sewers in
the City to become surcharged and cause flooding.
