Dampness.
This is dealt with as it arises in course of house-to-house
inspection of the District.
DUMPS.
The Sanitary Inspector and I have made many inspections,
and although there is room for improvement I feel sure that the
owners now realise their responsibility in the matter and are
endeavouring to carry out the Bye-laws.
It is very desirable that all dumping should cease, as there is no
doubt that it is a source of serious discomfort to the neighbourhood.
DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE.
The effluent from the Sewers is treated at the Cowley Sewage
Farm by broad irrigation after filtration treatment in Coke beds.
This Sewage Farm is governed by a Joint Drainage Committee, as
it receives Sewage from the Urban District of Yiewsley and part
of the Rural District of Uxbridge.
CLOSET ACCOMMODATION.
Practically all closets are connected to the main sewers
excepting Little Britain and Stockley and the New Garden City
Estate, which have cesspools; these are emptied in accordance with
the Bye-laws and as far as practical with a Vacuum Cesspool Plant.
HOUSE REFUSE COLLECTION.
This is done weekly by the Council.
Bake Houses.
There are five in the area, and these are inspected regularly.
There were 110 contraventions of the Factory Act reported
during the year.
