For future reference, copies of the Orders, attached
to the notices, are kept at the Vestry Hall.
Plans have been submitted with the building
notices showing the proposed method of draining, by
means of six and nine-inch stoneware pipes, the
before-mentioned new buildings into the public
sewers; the drain outlets in all instances being
trapped with modern flap traps at the cost of the
applicants. The total length of drain pipes laid
down, as shown on the plans, is about 5 miles 2 furlongs
and 140 yards.
Stoppages having occurred at various times in
several house drains in Maida Vale, with outlets into
the small brick sewer in rear of houses there, between
Clifton Road and No. 103, southward of Stranraer
Place, an expense to the Vestry had arisen in
removing such stoppages. A 3ft. 9in. X 2ft. Gin.
brick sewer, and other works connected therewith,
have been constructed by the Vestry from the sewer
opposite No. 1a, Clifton Road, and thence along
Maida Vale to the sewer opposite No. 105, at a cost
of £1,345 11s. 10d., for the purpose of obtaining
improved drainage for the owners or occupiers of
such houses if required. Since the sewer has been
constructed, the owners of Nos. 81 and 93, Maida
Vale, have had new pipe drains laid from the sewer
to their respective premises at their own expense.
