CLOSET ACCOMMODATION.
The general type of closet in use is on the water carriage
system connected to the public sewer, but there are approximately
134 cesspools and 45 privies, owing generally, to lack of sewers
within the statutory distance of the house. Based on the number
of occupied houses, 97 per cent. are connected to the public sewer.
During the year 11 cesspools have been abolished, 9 at Hollyme
Oak Road by reason of the extension of the sewer, one at Woodplace
Lane, Coulsdon, and one at Selsdon Road, Sanderstead.
During the year 21 cesspools were constructed.
