Main Water Supply, Pinewood Road, Havering
The Council agreed to the provision of a main water supply
to the properties in Pinewood Road, Havering. The question
of some long term planning arrangements fell to be considered
and eventually this problem was resolved by the Minister of
Housing and Local Government. The Council were then able to
proceed with their request to the South Essex Waterworks Company
for the provision of an adequate mains water supply to
these properties. This mains supply was installed at the end
of the year.
RAINFALL DURING THE YEAR
The subjoined information on rainfall for the year under
review was recorded at two of the Council's recording stations,
viz: Raphael Park, Romford and Spring Farm Park, Rainham.
The national average for England and Wales is in the region
of 35.6 per year and the average number of rainy days 186.
The long term average for this locality is approximately
22.5 per year and it will be seen from the monthly figures below
that we had a much heavier rainfall in June, July and Aygust
than is normally the case, which more or less accounts for our
higher than average figure.
