18. The principle of construction of all water-closets is subjet
to the approval of the Vestry. "D" trap, containers, receivers,
and hopper-shaped pans cannot bo permitted. Where a series of
water-closets are placed one above the other, delivering into
common soil pipe, the traps of each closet basin must be specially
ventilated to prevent syphonage by means of a 2 inch lead pipe
turned into the main ventilation pipe.
19. No rain water will be allowed to deliver on to the footway,
or roadways; water from the roofs, bay windows, cornices, &c.,
must be taken into the system of house drainage.
20. Overflow pipes from all cisterns, service
must discharge if practicable direct into the open air or be carried
by means of lead or other suitable pipes to a proper trapped gully
or syphon.
21. The whole of any system of drainage must be approved by
the Surveyor before a single pipe is covered up, and the joints tested
by charging with water or other means should the Surveyor so
direct.
An old barrel drain was taken out when redraining Nos. 1 and
Suffolk Place, and the drainage of these premises, as well as the
drainage from No. 2, Suffolk Place, was connected directly with
the sewer.
