Refuse Separation and Incineration Plant.
This has now been working for several years and its
efficiency is proved by the fact that no complaints have
been received with regard to effluvia. It will be agreed
by those who have knowledge of this method of disposal
that it has been worth the financial outlay incurred.
Representatives of local authorities frequently pay
visits to this plant and state their appreciation of the
satisfactory methods of its operation.
Pail Closets.
The work of night soil collection is carried out
entirely by mechanical methods and is free from all
nuisance. The number of premises thus served has,
due to modernisation and demolition, been reduced to 43.
Cesspools.
Normally cesspools are emptied by the Councils
gully emptier at monthly intervals. If occasion should
arise for emptying more frequently, this is done and the
occupier of the premises charged for the work. The
contents of the gully emptier are now discharged down
the manhole at the separation plant.
