Byelaws, now in force, were being observed. Generally little
cause for complaint was found at such inspections.
drainage
1,738 visits of inspection were made to underground drains
in course of repair. Of 222 Statutory Orders served, in 95 cases
work was carried out in default of the owners. In addition, repairs
were carried out by the Corporation to 5 public sewers
serving 18 properties.
offensive trades
There are two registered premises, and during the year there
has been no cause for complaint.
pollution of rivers and streams
During the year 148 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.
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.
