During the year 302 loads of sewer deposit have been cleared from
the various sewers and carted away.
Fifty-two connections have been made with the Parish sewers to
drain private property.
The sum of £274 15s. 3d. has been paid to the East London Water
Works Company for water used for watering roads, including the sum
of £27 6s. for the use of meters fixed in the various stand posts
throughout the Parish. The cost of water for flushing sewers
amounts to £77 2s.
Complaints have been made that during heavy floods of rain the
houses in streets abutting upon Old Bethnal Green Eoad on the north
side have been inundated with water. This is caused by the main
line sewer, which runs through the Old Bethnal Green Road, and is
under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board of Works, being laid
at an insufficient depth to allow the smaller sewers, which find an
outlet into the main sewer, to be laid at a proper level to effectually
drain the adjacent property. Communications have been made to the
Engineer to the Board to the effect that property cannot be efficiently
drained until the main line sewer is lowered, and he has promised
that the matter shall have the attention of the Board.
