These tanks are connected with sewers that we are unable to
flush from the river and are invaluable in dry weather in keeping
the sewers with which they are connected thoroughly cleansed.
The quantity of water discharged from these tanks during the
year is approximately 106,102 gallons, or 473 toils. We have
also a brick Hushing tank in St. Margaret's Court, and this is
used periodically. In addition to these tanks we have our River
Penstocks and Hydrants.
