In 117 instances draw-taps were placed on the main to the
house, in compliance with notice from the Health Department, in
lieu of a supply drawn from an inaccessible and uncovered cistern.
Drainage and Sewerage.
The sewerage of almost the whole district is arranged on the
"separate" system.
In the western portion of the district, there are some houses
not yet linked up with the general system. The present methods
of drainage employed at these houses are not satisfactory.
The following extensions have been completed or were in
progress during 1922:—
Jersey Road.—From existing termination at "Brierley,"
to present termination at junction of Wood Lane, 267 yards.
Jersey Road.—From existing termination approximately
100 yards west of Thornbury Road, extending in a westerly
direction to Rose Farm, 486 yards.
Wood Lane.—From existing termination in front of Wyke
House, extending in a northerly direction to the District
Railway line, 363 yards.
Bath Road.— From the existing termination at Vicarage
Farm Lane to the U.D. boundary at Cranford, 2,000 yards.
Dockwell Lane.—From the junction with Bath Road
extending southward over a distance of 96 yards.
Foul sewers on the Great West Road, 7½ miles in length,
work on which has been carried out during the past two years,
are now approaching completion.
Closet Accommodation.
Accommodation on the water carriage system is almost general
throughout the district, 98 per cent, of the houses having water-
closets.
Scavenging.
This is carried out by the Local Authority and is under
control of the Surveyor.
