(3) RIVERS AND STREAMS.
No complaints regarding the pollution of the Rivef
Thames were received during the year.
(4) DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE.
The Council is a constituent Authority under the West
Middlesex Sewerage Disposal Scheme, formulated by the
Middlesex County Council. Early in the year when
certain of the Council's sewers were first connected to the
Middlesex County Council's Trunk sewer, complaints of
offensive odours were received from several parts of the
District. The nuisances were quickly remedied upon
being reported to the County Authority.
(5) SCAVENGING.
The main roads throughout the District have been
swept daily and the less important several times weekly,
according to requirements. The street gullies have been
emptied, disinfected and flushed when necessary, and
where of unsuitable pattern, have been replaced by an
improved type as opportunities occur.
(6) COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF HOUSE
REFUSE.
Refuse has been removed thrice weekly in the shopping
areas and twice weekly in the residential areas, and disposed
of by tipping and burning in a destructor.
