Hardcastle Street
Sewer.
Among the matters which have occupied
the attention of your Committee during the year were the
complaints with reference to the line of old sewer running
at the rear of houses on the west side of Hardcastle Street.
This street was laid out by the late Metropolitan Board of
Works, and the out-buildings of some of the houses were,
by permission of the Vestry, subject to new pipe sewer
being substituted for the old brick sewer, constructed over
the old line of sewer draining property in the Orchard. In
order to remove any stoppage it would be necessary to
disturb the whole of the tenants residing in the houses in
Hardcastle Street referred to, and to take the sewage
collected from such sewer through the premises. The
Surveyor recommended that this line of sewer should be
abandoned, and a new pipe sewer constructed at the rear
of the houses in the Orchard, which property only has the
use of such sewer.
Recommended:—That a pipe sewer be constructed at
the rear of the houses on the gardens of property in the
Orchard (consent having first been obtained from the
owners), and that the drains of these houses be connected
herewith, such work to be carried out at the expense of
the Vestry, at an estimated cost of £30.
This was approved by the Vestry on 13th April,
1892.
