Sanitary Circumstances of the Area.
Water Supply.
The Colne Valley Water Company's mains supply the whole
district except five cottages at Northolt Road, Eastcote, two houses
St. Martin's Lane, Ruislip, and three cottages at Raysons Hill,
Eastcote. The supply is constant. At the Northolt Junction area,
most of the wooden bungalows are supplied bv standpipes.
Rivers and Streams.
The effluent from the Ruislip-Northwood Sewage Works flows
into a stream which joins the River Pinn. Samples are taken from the
effluent by the Thames Conservancy. No complaints were received.
The effluent from the Pinner Sewage Farm flows into a small stream
which runs under the Northolt Road into the Ruislip-Northwood
Urban District area.
Drainage and Sewerage.
The sewers are laid on the dual system. The foul sewers are as
follows:
1. The Northwood sewage flows by gravitation through a main
sewer which is laid under the poors field to the outfall works at
St. Martin's Lane, Ruislip Common.
2. The Eastcote Sewage flows by gravitation to a well at the
Pumping Station on the main Eastcote and Ruislip Road, and from
thence it is pumped up a rising main to the level of Ruislip Village
and flows on by gravitation to the Outfall Works.
3. All the Ruislip sewage flows by gravitation to the Sewage
Works.
4. The whole of the area South of the Metropolitan branch
line from Harrow to Uxbridge is without main drainage. This
includes the Northolt Junction Building Estate, where there are
207 buildings of all classes, brick and timber bungalows, several
brick houses and many small timber hutment dwellings.
The method of sewage disposal for this part of the area, is cesspool
drainage or earth pail closets.
