DRAINAGE
2,058 visits of inspection were made to underground drains
in course of repair. Of 193 Statutory Orders served, 31 had to
be done in default of the owners. In addition, repairs were
carried out by the Corporation to 11 public sewers serving 51
properties.
OFFENSIVE TRADES
There are but few registered, and during the year there has
been no cause for complaint.
POLLUTION OF RIVERS AND STREAMS
During the year 191 inspections were made to ascertain if
any evidence of pollution or obstruction was apparent in the
water courses within the Borough and in addition samples of the
waters were taken for analysis. Appropriate action was taken
where pollution was observed.
It should be remembered that all surface water drainage in
the Borough is discharged into streams, and it is an offence to
Permit a polluting material to enter surface water drainage
systems.
