HOUSE DRAINAGE.
Twenty-one new connections of house drains to the sewers and
fourteen examinations of the sewers have been made by the Vestry
at the owners' cost.
Regulations for house' drainage drawn up by myself are now
under your consideration, and, if approved, will provide for all
connections from private property within the street being constructed
by the Vestry at the owners' expense; this will be a
great improvement upon the old system, as being a means of
ensuring satisfactory work in all connections to the sewers; many
of the complaints now made by householders consequent upon
defects in the drains having arisen from connections being improperly
made in the past.
Plans for the drainage of the following new properties have
been submitted and approved, viz.:—
Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16, James Street and No. 47, Long Acre.
11 and 12, James Street, llaymarket.
4 aud 6, Charing Cross Road.
105, Long Acre.
21, Panton Street.
