The builder of houses now in course of erection
in Clifton Road, near Maida Vale; has also had drains
laid into sewer at his expense, and has paid a contribution
for sewer frontage.
In consequence of the dilapidated and unsatisfactory
condition of ninety-eight brick and pipe drains
under the public roads and footways, from various
buildings, it became necessary to reconstruct them,
at the cost of the applicants.
A large number of works, comprising repairs to
sewers, air openings, and gulleys, also the fixing of
traps at the outlets of gulley and house drains, have
been completed by the Vestry, at a cost of
£2,012 16s. 4d. For defraying the expense of
certain works required to be done for builders and
other persons a sum of £1,284 5s. Id. has been
received by the Vestry, and is included in the above
amount.
With reference to complaints received, numbering
one hundred and ninety-two, relative to stoppages
in house drains and gulleys, or from effluvia arising
therefrom, the same have been dealt with at once,
and, where practicable, the cause of complaint
remedied.
Examinations from sewers have been made as to
stoppages in one hundred and forty-nine house
