County Hall, † West Molesey. ‡ Kingston Sewage Works.
In the records for the immediate neighbourhood,
there are considerable differences between West Molesey,
Surbiton, and Kingston (Sewage Works), amounting to
over an inch in a year.
It will be seen that the Report shows a steady, if slow,
improvement.
