6. General.—During the period under review—as a
result of a complaint by the Port of London Authority of the
fouling of the surface water sewers—it was found necessary
to examine the drains of a large number of houses in the Old
Chiswick Ward. Numbers of open surface water channels in
the forecourt inspection chambers were properly sealed down,
and the tenants requested to refrain from allowing
slop water to gain access to the surface water gullies.
In order to mitigate a possible nuisance and reduce the
quantity of house refuse to be collected, a private circular
was sent to all houses in the district, requesting householders
to burn as far as possible, any house refuse made.
