The Repairs and General Works during the past
year include the repair and maintenance of Sewers, Drains,
and Gullies, and comprise items of the ordinary character.
Flushing and Cleansing has been carried out as
before, and the Sewers, both covered and open, are in a fair
state of cleanliness. Complaints of stoppage, flooding, and
other defects have been promptly examined, and remedied at
far as possible, where the duty of doing so has been with the
Vestry.
The House Drainage has been somewhat more than
last year, from the circumstance of several new sewers
having been constructed. The applications for house drainage
are for 568 houses, upon which about £900 has been
paid into the office. The estimated cost of private work
done by the applicants is £5,000, which has been executed
under the inspection and general supervision of the officers
of the Vestry.
New Buildings.—The Vestry have received notices
for building 486 new houses, the drainage of which, and the
level of the lowest floors in relation to the sewers have been
considered and approved as directed by the Act.
