Note.—The Sewers in the Kimberley and Hollydale Roads have been
especially constructed as relief Sewers, to give extra outlet at
the time of extreme pressure, occasioned by excessive storm.
The Sewers in the Forest Hill Road were also partly provided
for storms, but were laid as permanent Sewers, advantage
having been taken of the widening of this Road from Coliton
to Mundania Road.
