These tanks are connected with sewers that we are unable
to flush from the river and are invaluable in dry weather in
keeping the sewers with which they are connected thoroughly
cleansed. We have also a brick flushing tank in St. Margaret's
Court, and this is used periodically. In addition to these tanks
we have our river Penstocks and Hydrants.
