SECTION C.
Sanitary Circumstances of the Area.
1. (i) Water.
The water supply for almost the whole district
is derived from the Metropolitan Water Board, and
this supply is satisfactory. There are a few houses
where the supply is still obtained from wells.
(ii) Drainage and Sewerage.
The sewage disposal plants continued to work
efficiently and yield a satisfactory effluent.
2. Rivers and Streams.
The River Roding is the only one passing through
the centre of the district dividing the wards of Chigwell
on the south-east side and Buckhurst Hill and Loughton
on the north-west side. There are no buildings at
present liable to floods in the river area which is under
the jurisdiction of the Roding Catchment Board.
3. (i) Closet Accommodation.
A few closets on the conservancy system remain
in Chigwell and Loughton wards. They are situated
in remote cottages out of reach of sewers.
