immediately gave an undertaking not to take any cases in the
future and, after the matter had been considered by the Council,

SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE BOROUGH.
Water.—The Greenford and Northolt Wards are supplied
with water by the Rickmansworth and Uxbridge Valley Water
Company, while the rest of the Borough is supplied by the Metropolitan
Water Board.
During the year complaints were received from the Greenford
Ward regarding the insufficient supply of water, particularly on
Sundays and Mondays. These complaints were well founded,
and representations were made to the Water Company. Since
these representations were made the dead ends of mains in different
parts of the district have been connected up and a " boosting "
station to give greater pressure of water in the higher parts of the
district has been established. These works have resulted in a
marked improvement in the pressure. A local " boosting " station
is yet required in order automatically to raise the pressure in the
mains in the highest parts of the district when this increased
pressure is required during periods of heavy demand.
Rivers and. Streams.—No complaints were received during
the year regarding the pollution of any stream running through
the district.
Drainage and Sewerage.—Excepting in the undeveloped
portions of the Mount Park, Greenford and Northolt Wards, the
whole of the houses are supplied with water closets and are drained
to the sewerage system.
During the year a further section of sewer was laid in Church
Road, Northolt, and connected to the Bengarth Road pumping
station. The drains of 18 houses were connected to this sewer
and 18 cesspools were consequently abolished.
There are five separate disposal works in the Borough, situated
in North Ealing (Perivale), South Ealing, Hanwell, Greenford and
Northolt.
