A Brick Sewer has been re-constructed at a greater
depth in Uxbridge Road, from Leinster Terrace to the
second house West from Porchester Terrace, for the
drainage of four large Mansions, erected on the sites of
Nos. 4, 5, and 6, St. Agnes Villas, at the cost of the
Owners thereof.
Various complaints having been received from
Occupiers of Houses in Bayswater Terrace, of the bad
condition of the drainage into the old shallow pipe
sewer on the North side of Uxbridge Road, between
Inverness Terrace and Queen's Road, and the aforesaid
sewer being found so defective as to cause stoppages in
the Street Gullies, a Brick Sewer has been constructed
at a lower level in lieu of the Pipes, and the House and
Gulley Drains connected therewith, at the Vestry's
expense.
Four hundred and two distinct Works relative to
the repair of Sewers and Gullies, laying Pipe Drains,
fixing Traps, &c., have been executed at a cost of
£1,631 18s. l0d. This sum includes £740 18s. 6d.

outlets of Drains, constructing Gullies in New Streets,
laying Drain Pipes under Footways and Roadways in

of Traps.
One hundred and seven examinations of House
Drains were made from Sewers, as to the cause of
stoppage, and whether trapped at their outlets, at a
cost to the Applicants of £21 8s. 0d.
