blocked drains which are cleared by the Council free of
charge
Follow up visits are undertaken by the Public Health
Inspectors if recurring blockages are reported and as a result
of these visits some 151 notices were served to repair or
renew defective drains
The Director of Public Health Engineering, Greater
London Council, has very kindly supplied the following
information:-
"No extensions or improvements were carried
out at the Riverside Sewage Treatment Works
or Bury Farm works during 1972
The operation of both works was completely
normal throughout the year
During 1972, Riverside Works accepted trade
effluent discharges from two large factories
which had previously discharged their effluent
to the river
These discharges were dealt with satisfactorily
by the installed domestic plant
