SECTION C. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF
THE AREA.
Water.
The Clerk of the Metropolitan Water Board has
kindly furnished the following particulars regarding the
water supply : —
Various lengths of 3in. and 4in. diameter mains
only were laid in the Borough of Bromley during the
year, and the water supplied was considered satisfactory
both as regards quality and quantity. Routine monthly
reports on the results of chemical and bacteriological
examinations continue to be forwarded to the Ministry
of Health as in normal times.
Drainage.
\
No extensions or developments of drainage were
undertaken during the year.
Cesspool Drainage.
No buildings were constructed with cesspool
drainage during 1940. There is nothing specially noteworthy
to add to my report of 1939 on the progress
made in the abolition of cesspools in the added areas.
