DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE.
No important works under this heading were carried out
during the year as development is fully provided for in this
respect by the Council's existing systems pending the Middlesex
County Council's West Middlesex Sewage Scheme coming
into operation.
RIVERS AND STREAMS.
The Chaplin Road Brook was again cleansed by the
County Council, and the refuse therefrom was carted away
by this Council.
CLOSET ACCOMMODATION.
Practically every house in the District is provided with
water closet accommodation, and all new houses are connected
to the main sewerage system.
PUBLIC CLEANSING.
The removal of house refuse is carried out each week
under the supervision of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, by
means of 6 low loading line S.D. Freighters, and 4 horsedrawn
vans. The work is carried out in an efficient manner,
the number of complaints received is small, and the cost is
satisfactory.
In the case of the added district of Kingsbury the work
is carried out by a firm of contractors.
The refuse is deposited in barges and moved from the
District. The Chief Sanitary Inspector regularly inspects
in company with the Sanitary Inspector to the Local
Authority the tip at West Drayton, where the refuse is taken,
to see that the terms of the contract embodying the conditions
laid down in the Local Bye-laws are carried out.
No refuse is collected in this District from earth closets,
privies or cesspools.
