In connection with the above, 88 new connections have been made with the sewers,
of this number fourteen were connected to the County Council's mains. The cost charged
to the owners for the connections and for the necessary interceptor and inspection chamber
under the footway where no forecourt existed, amounted to £429 5s.
Previous to the commencement of the street watering, the whole of the wells and
pumps, numbering eleven, were overhauled and repaired at a cost of £23 4s. 10d., and the
cost of the maintenance of the pumps during the year, after repair, amounted to £10 13s. 9d.
The Vestry possess seven vans and two carts; the whole were thoroughly repaired by
Messrs. Oakley & Son, at a cost of £49 12s. 6d.
The carts are intended for sewer flushing purposes, but I am compelled, to the
detriment of the sewers and gullies, to utilise one of them for water purposes during the
warm weather.
Street Watering.
429j liorseB were hired for the watering, and I estimate the quantity of water pumped
at 3,022,000 gallons.
