Flushing Seivers.
During the summer months the gulleys and sewers
were flushed with water and disinfectants by means
of water vans, and where necessary, stand-pipes and
hose, with the result that, notwithstanding the exceptionally
hot weather in the late summer and early
autumn, only seventeen complaints were received of
offensive emanations from the gulleys and sewer
ventilators.
No new automatic flushing tanks have been constructed
this year in connection with sewers, so that
the total of seven in the Parish last year remains as
follows:—
Upper Brook Mews. Hampden Street.
Gloucester Mews East. Elgin Mews North.
Harrow Road, opposite No. 194. Porchester Mews.
Green Street.
During the year the sewermen have removed 104
loads of heavy deposit from the sewers in this Parish.
