Samples of the water taken from the Pools and subjected to
bacteriological examination, revealed the absence of B. Coli in all
samples and proved the quality of the water to be beyond reproach.
7. SEWERAGE. The growth of the population in Wembley
and the increase in domestic and other premises, was very considerable
during the years 1930/1960, and the intervention of a period when
few works could be undertaken on account of wartime conditions
resulted in the Borough being behind-hand in the provision of adequate
drainage, both for the surface water and for soil sewage. The
Council were very conscious of this difficulty and an extensive programme
of sewerage construction received their approval. Details
of the relief schemes are included.
