Disposal of Sewage.
Situation of the Works.—The Sewage Works are
situated on the South side of the District (in Wood Green
Parish), and within 100 yards of a small brook, into
which the effluent flows. The original works were completed
at the end of 1886, from designs furnished by Mr.
Baldwin Latham, M.I.C.E.. and were executed under his
direction.
The works have been extended by the Council from
time to time under their Engineer and Surveyor and
continue to produce a very satisfactory effluent.
The method of treatment is as follows:
The sewage, which enters the works by gravitation,
is first passed through a revolving screen, after which
a solution of Buxton lime equal to 4 grains per gallon is
added, and the whole is thoroughly mixed. It then
receives alumino-ferric to the extent of 1 grain per gallon,
and is again well mixed by passing over a salmon ladder;
and in this condition it flows into settling tanks, of
which there are five, four having a capacity of 70,000
gallons, and the fifth which will hold 92,000 gallons.
