SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA
RAINFALL
The rainfall for the year 1951 was 30.80 inches compared with 21.33
inches for the previous year; the number of days on which rain fell in 1951
was 170.
WATER SUPPLY
The whole of the water supplied to domestic dwellings is drawn from
the main supply of the South Essex Waterworks Company. Samples wet
submitted monthly for bacteriological examination and bi-annually for
chemical examination, all of which were found to be pure and wholesons
In addition samples drawn from the wells at 3 factory premises have also
been examined and found satisfactory.
DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE
No change has taken place since my last report. The whole of the
sewage is dealt with at the works of the London County Council.
PUBLIC CLEANSING AND REFUSE DISPOSAL
It is to be regretted that negotiations with neighbouring authority
for the disposal of their refuse with our own at an approved site in the area
have reached a stalemate. At this juncture it is difficult to foresee whether
or not the matter may be further discussed. In the meantime the Jenkins Lane
tip is remaining in use.
