DRAINAGE MP SEWERAGE.
The town is drained and sewered on the separate system, excepting the older
portions of the district where it is a combined system. The sewage is conveyed
to a Sewage Disposal works of 56 acres, where it is screened, grit removed in
detritus tanks, thence to primary settlement tanks and thereafter distributed over
three 80 ft. diameter bacteria filters, followed by humus removal in rectangular
tanks before discharge to the Dollis Brook. Pumping is necessary for three
sewers which have their outlets at a low point on the works. Part of the
Totteridge area drains to the Finchley Borough sewers; in the outlying areas some
properties are on cesspool drainage or domestic sewage disposal plants, and a few
only have pail closets.
