Two Connections with Sewers have been made in
Fulham Place and Leinster Square, for the purpose of
Ventilation, and obtaining ready access to such Sewers.
One mile, three furlongs and 165 yards of Stoneware
Drain Pipes have been laid down to new
Buildings, at an estimated cost to the Owners of
£432 :15:0.
Four miles and 102 yards of Brick Sewers have
been cleansed, and the hard deposits removed by the
Contractor to the Vestry, at a cost of £ 95:18:8.
Three side Entrances have been constructed in
Porchester Terrace, Hereford Road and Richmond
Road, as means of access to the Sewers for Cleansing
purposes, and examination of Drains and Traps.
Forty-six Air Openings have been formed in
Man-holes and Sewers, and Cast Iron Ventilating
Gratings fixed level with the surface of the Carriageways.
Many of these Gratings are moveable, and of
great service in the saving of labor during the
Cleansing of the Sewers, as the Flushing Men are
thereby enabled to remove the hard deposits by means
of buckets to the surface of the Roads, from whence
they are carted away.
One hundred and sixty-nine Gulleys have been
constructed and re-constructed, and forty-six repaired
in various streets of the Parish.
