The district is divided into small compact areas for the
purpose of sewerage, each area draining to one centre by
gravitation; the sewerage being discharged into a Shone
pneumatic ejector, from which it is lifted by compressed
air through cast iron mains to the disposal works, which
are situated in Hanworth Road, Hampton.
As the population of the district is growing very quickly
it is considered that the Sewage Disposal Works will have
to be enlarged, and plans for these alterations are being
prepared accordingly.
Closet Accommodation.
Water-closets of the wash-down type are in general
use throughout the district, each being provided with a
proper flushing apparatus.
Scavenging and the Disposal of Refuse.
Galvanised iron movable dustbins are in general use for
the reception of household refuse, and the refuse is collected
weekly by the Council's staff, every house being visited at
about the same time and day in each week.
This important work has been performed very efficiently
and very few complaints are received.
The method of disposal is by burning in a two-cell
front feed Horsfall Refuse Destructor, which is situated at
the Sewage Disposal Works.
Sanitary Inspection of the Area.
The work of inspection of dwelling houses and other
premises has been maintained throughout the year by the
Sanitary Inspector. Constant visiting and supervision of
the necessary works to effect repairs to premises, for the
abatement of nuisances or the prevention of disease, has
been carried out. A number of preliminary notices were
served, but very few statutory notices were served, and not
one summons was served throughout the year.
