SANITARY ADMINISTRATION.
The report of the Sanitary Inspector on work carried
out during the year 1925 is appended herewith.
Water Supply.
Practically every house in the district is supplied direct
from the mains of the Metropolitan Water Board. There
is a constant supply, which is maintained at a good pressure
throughout the year.
Rivers and Streams.
The River Thames and the Queen's (or Longford)
River are each partly within the district. No complaints
have been received concerning contamination of either, from
any source within the district.
Drainage and Sewerage.
Nearly the whole of the drainage has been remodelled
during recent years, and the present condition is good. The
general system of drainage is to lay stoneware drains on
cement concrete foundations, with watertight inspection
chambers at each change of direction and to intercept the
drains from the sewers.
All new drainage work is under the constant supervision
of the Council's officers; and is tested by water pressure
before covering, and by smoke on completion.
