REPORT, 1890-91. 79
New Sewer Works.
New brick sewers, 1,225 feet in length, and 3 ft.
9 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. sectional area, have been constructed
by Mr. E. Vigers in the under-mentioned
roads, for the drainage of new buildings in course of
erection there, viz.:—
Croxley Road, between Fernhead Road and
Saltram Crescent.
Macroom Road, between Denholme Road and
Croxley Road.
These sewers are provided with the requisite
ventilating openings, manholes, and side entrances.
The whole the works have been constructed under the
supervision of the Vestry's Officers.
A 12-in. glazed stoneware pipe sewer 240 feet in
length, extending from the brick sewer in Orsett
Terrace, and continued along the roadway in front of
the Houses Nos. 142, 144, 146, and 148, Westbourne
Terrace, has been constructed at a cost to the Vestry
of £390 8s. 8d., and in which amount is included a
pipe ventilating shaft with brick catchpits at the north
end of sewer. This sewer was constructed in order
that the existing defective drains of the beforementioned
houses, having outlets into a 9-in. defective
pipe drain at the rear, might be re-constructed with
outlets into the new sewer, and with considerably
improved sanitary arrangements.
