The complaints were investigated as early as possible
and, where the Corporation possessed powers to intervene,
immediate steps were taken to remove the cause of the
complaint.
HOUSE DRAINAGE.
Twenty-seven premises were completely redrained
during 1933 in addition to 11 other premises where drains
were repaired or reconstructed in part.
The work of examination of existing drainage is
extremely important and is carried out thoroughly under
the powers contained in the Public Health Acts, when there
is reason to believe the condition of drains is not good.
Frequent visits are made to all drain reconstruction works
in progress and final tests are applied to all new work
above or under the ground upon completion.
The following list gives the situation and numbers of
premises redrained during the year:—
