Constructional works at Eastern Outfall Sewage Disposal Works
will be substantially completed and be in operation by April 1962, but
the provision of certain minor items, e.g. electric motors to drive the
rotating distributor and mechanical screening equipment will not come
into operation until later in the year due to delays in delivery of the
equipment.
Rivers.
Ingrebourne: If the two could be related probably more words than
water have flowed over this stream. Its position is relevant to our
neighbour at Brentwood and to Nags Head Disposal Works. My duty is
not to debate the pros and cons of the Regional Scheme or the improvement
of that Works, but merely to insist that the content of the river
should be much more satisfactory than has hitherto been the case.
I have to thank Mr. Fish of the Essex River Board for providing me
with copies of their sampling results. That Board is, of course, keenly
interested in securing a clean river water, but I am not yet certain as
to whether it has yet finalised its attitude as to how best this objective
may be achieved.
Ditches.
Inevitably a certain amount of junk is deposited in the ditches of the
district and cannot be removed without cost. It may be that much of it
comes from outside the district. It is in any event to be deplored.
Swimming Pool.
12 samples were taken and have been uniformly satisfactory.
