SECTION C. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE
AREA.
Water.
The Clerk of the Metropolitan Water Board has
kindly furnished the following information:—
"No new source of supply was instituted in the
Borough of Bromley during the year 1939, and the
length of distribution mains laid was very small compared
with previous years. The supply was satisfactory
as regards quantity. Monthly reports by the Board's
Director of Water Examination on the results of the
chemical and bacteriological examinations were forwarded
to the Ministry of Health."
Drainage.
During the year a soil sewer was constructed in
Oakfield Lane, Keston, to replace cesspool drainage.
Cesspool Drainage.
Two buildings were constructed with cesspool drainage
during 1939.
Progress with abolition of cesspools in Hayes and
Keston continued satisfactorily. During the year 14 cesspools
were abolished and the premises concerned were
connected to main drainage.
Public Cleansing.
The services have been maintained, and the Groverment
Salvage Scheme was brought into operation.
