Closet Accommodation, Scavenging, Sanitary
Inspections of the District.
Closet Accommodation.
The whole town is supplied by water closets there
being no earth closets and no privies. Practically
everywhere there is one closet for each family and where
there is less than this provision it means that difficult
housing conditions have compelled more than one
family to occupy one house.
Scavenging.
The Ealing Corporation Act requires the provision
of a sanitary dust-bin for each house in the district
and this requirement has been consistently enforced
so that apart from isolated instances which are dealt
with on discovery the town is completely supplied with
dust-bins.
Removal of household refuse is carried out regularly
and efficiently, a collection once a week being the rule.
A destructor comprising ten cells at South Ealing
adjoining the Sewage Works receives the refuse from
the whole of the town.
